Video Workshops

Adapting to Scarcity is currently conducting Flip Video workshops with youth living in communities downstream from Guadalajara on the Río Santiago and in Guadalajara proper in collaboration with the Mexican Institute for Community Development. The workshops are popular education based, with an emphasis on empowerment and social change through video.

Our video workshops facilitate participants' reexamination of their communities, the greater watershed, and the injustices of the society they are living in. In the workshops, we focus on storytelling, citizen reporter ethics, and the power of social media. By the time we return, we will have directly engaged 60 video workshop participants, and reached a larger audience through planned community viewings of the videos in the surrounding communities and in Guadalajara.
