TRAINING ON
FILMMAKING
IN THE COMMUNITY

WHY TO JOIN THIS COURSE ?
 
In social sector the organisations who are working towards empowerment of the marginalized and excluded citizens have now adopted the use of ICTs for the fulfillment of citizen's rights. But the engagement is very limited and top-down, hired or commissioned communication professionals/organisations working at national or state level to either showcase or develop advocacy products for the organization are neither cost effective nor provide any long term solution to the orgranisions. In due course the voice of the marginalized community loses its energy.

To bridge this gap organization like CHSJ which have the credibility of using bottom-up learning as its core value and practice to stand for social justice have piloted several training sessions on the use of ICTs with its network partners and other like-minded organisations from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for last four years. The outcome of the use of ICT is limitless. It has provided new opportunity to the community, practitioners and organizations to access grounded evidence and make more informed choice. Also it enables more efficient process and gives medium and voice to traditionally unheard people. As a result, this initiative has produced more than 40 skilled community practitioners working in the field of health, education, gender, violence and sanitation
