Have you noticed that everywhere you look people are recording their lives with phones and cameras and sharing the videos and pictures instantly with those that they want to?  If society is adopting these methods, why aren’t we?

Some organisations are starting to replace traditional paper based recordings with multimedia and have initial approval from the CSSIW to do so.  This workshop is being delivered by one such organisation, Community Lives Consortium.

Course Content
This half day workshop will demonstrate how using multimedia for the people we support makes an enormous difference – people take ownership of their information and want to show it off.

The session will
– Show you how Multimedia can be used to support people to have a say, record their lives and express their dreams and aspirations in ways which they can take ownership of, rather than having their lives documented by professionals.
– Showcase a range of real life recordings using a wide range of multimedia
– give you the chance to get your hands on some equipment and have a go yourselves at recording using multimedia.
– emphasise the difference it makes to lives rather than how the technology works.
– allow opportunities for questions and comments.

Designed for:
Anyone who is passionate about how we can encourage people to have their say more effectively and shift the power of recording to the people we support.  This is a taster session so is designed for people who have the drive and resources to implement new ways of working into their organisation.

About the facilitators:
This session will be facilitated by staff from Community Lives Consortium who have been providing a 3 day course on this subject, known as SPICT, to many of its staff and other agencies across Wales who have reaped the benefits by putting into practice what they have learnt
