“We
are Teachers” is a short film made by a group of rural primary school teachers
in Malawi. The film was made as part of a collaboration between The Open
University, Catcher Media Social, the NGO Humana People to People and its local
member organisation DAPP Malawi.
The
year 2015 marks the deadline of the global campaign of Education for All (EFA).
At this critical moment in the international education narrative, this
collaboration piloted the practice of participatory video as a research and
advocacy tool. The purpose was to explore how collaborative film-making can
provide a platform for incorporating rural teachers' voices in this narrative
and bring their voices closer to global policy discussions around how to enhance
pupil learning.
The
event is free, but places are limited. Please contact Dr Alison Buckler alison.buckler@open.ac.uk to
reserve a place.
Please promote this event through your networks.
