Abstract

Video is an accessible and powerful information and communication technology (ICT) that for marginalized communities can mark the difference between poverty and isolation, and participation in the global exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge for sustainable and equitable development. A major element of this project was to build capacity among Indigenous youth to create short films. Video was the medium for enabling two Indigenous Mapuche communities in Chile, to approach and analyze local development issues and bring local perspectives to the forefront of debates. This detailed paper reports on project outputs, outcomes, partnerships, impact and dissemination.
