WITNESS: Methodology Video as one tool Focus on specific decision-makers Solutions and a space for action Safety and security
In 2010, WITNESS decided to expand its existing work to end forced evictions to a 3-year global campaign. WITNESS and HIC began meeting to determine how video could be used strategically to advance HIC’s existing advocacy at the local, regional and global levels. To achieve advocacy objectives, WITNESS and HIC would collaborate with selected HIC members on video trainings, filming support and strategic distribution to key decision-makers.
The measure of success is change on the ground – not simply a video being made.
Video is the mediumAdvocacy is the purpose Change is the goal.
