Video Volunteers - Bringing Video Literacy to India
Posted on September 29th, 2011 Written on michael's blog
Do you like this?
I am on the Board of Directors for a non-profit organization called Video Volunteers.
It was founded in 2003 by Jessica Mayberry, a graduate of one of our training programs the then DV Dojo in Manhattan.
Since then, VideoVolunteers has equipped and trained hundreds of people across India to tell their own stories in video.
It has given them the training and equipment they need to move from being totally cut off from the online world to being content creators and contributors.
It has empowered them to tell their own stories- to each other and to everyone else.
Videvolunteers is on the cutting edge of a digital revolution that is changing the nature of the world - particularly with respect to who gets access to what is 'in' the media matrix.
That once was reserved for the people who ran places like CNN or ABC News, but not for much longer.
Video Volunteers has received grants from the Knight News Challenge and the Echoing Green Foundation. VV won a 2006 Tech Museum Award and the NYU Stern Business School Social Business Plan Competition in 2008.[2][3][4][5]
Video Volunteers is active in the US, India, and Brazil, and has partnered with such organizations as Witness, the Global Fund for Children, Pangea Day, MTV, and others. VV was short-listed by the Development Gateway Awards, and in 2008 they were one of the five shortlisted organizations for the King Baudouin Foundation (of Belgium) International Development Prize.
Video Volunteers is going to start off another round of training people in India
If you would like to be a trainer in India, please let me know.
