The Story Catchers

Using documentary film and community participatory approaches in research, monitoring, evaluation, social impact measurement and reporting.

Film presents evidence in a way that a written story cannot do. Our methodology supports communities to tell and share their stories. This helps to eliminate situations where project staff tell their version on behalf of the community.

We enhance the individual and collective voice, including the silent and the unheard voices. It empowers communities to actively co-create and evaluate their own projects and programs. This assists in creating positive systemic, sustainable change in the organisation and communities.

Numbers aren’t enough to fully understand community conditions of well-being, in measuring human emotion and perception; we need the stories to do this!
