VOICES FOR BIOJUSTICE VIDEO
A series of simple, catchy videos are being produced on a series of themes, accompanied by webinars and resource materials that contain more detail on the issues addressed. Theme-based videos are 5-10 minutes in length, and include those bringing local groups’ views to policy makers, and those providing information and resources on complex and technical topics. Videos are disseminated through the Voices for BioJustice website and those of its partners, and are shown at local, national, and international workshops and meetings.
Voices for BioJustice Video Program
ABS & Conservation Connecting The Dots…
Produced by Voices for BioJustice in partnership with People and Plants International and the University of Cape Town, supported by GIZ and BMZ.
Local Voices videos provide a direct, and minimally brokered, form of communication between local groups and policy-makers. Even in cases where efforts have been made to consult widely and authentically with local groups, it has often proven difficult given cultural, logistical and other challenges. Voices for BioJustice explores the potential for video to address some of these challenges as part of wider efforts to ground policy-making in local and real-world experiences.
The Voices for BioJustice team is developing and will follow Video Ethics Guidelines as part of the project’s broader work on ethics in research, project design and implementation. Video Ethics Guidelines include steps necessary to receive prior informed consent, acknowledgement of participants, use of material, and other aspects of ethical video production. A resource collection of materials will also be made available on the Voices for BioJustice website.
