(01) The Journey Begins...

A five days AYV workshop was conducted from 24thNovember to29thNovember at Jamia Convention Center, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. The workshop was conducted by Angad Bhalla, Mirium Neptune & Carrie Lynch from EVC (Educational Video Center) and attended by members from participating organizations.

The aim of the workshop was to provide guidelines, basic technical and programmatic skills to the resource persons about how they would motivate and assist students/ youth in making a documentary film on the topic that they feel relevant.


A lot of learning, exchange and fun happened during these five days. The main components of the workshop were: what is a documentary film, video equipments, brainstorming, story boarding, field visits, editing and presentations. One of the important aspects of the workshop was introduction of the media mentors (professionals who will provide technical support to the participating organizations in making the documentary film). Each organization is attached to one media mentor who will work with them till the completion of the project.

The workshop ended with setting a deadline (April/ May 2007) for completing the first phase of documentary film which will be showcased in the iEARN national conference at Pune.
