Profile Information

Source of my passion about the power of business to fight poverty
I am a social entrepreneur, I am an academic
I am a film maker and photojournalist currently in the process of starting my own company Citizen Camera.
Working with charities, Citizen Camera will run workshops in visual media technologies for marginalised communities and groups. Our aim is to create video and photography that you can use as promotional or campaigning material. The difference with Citizen Camera is that we will work closely with the communities and peoples affected, teaching them documentation and journalistic skills so that they can generate their own stories. This will not only encourage personal development and transferable skills but will produce media material that is from a unique, fair and truthful perspective. We will work closely with the charity to develop footage that will be both beneficial to those involved and for your campaign strategy.
Members of Citizen Camera are established teachers and media practitioners. We have worked both worldwide and locally with a wide range of issues including poverty, migration, disabalism and conflict. We have seen the powerful effects of media empowerment first hand and are now passionate about promoting this further, fighting current negative media portrayals that are still so common.

Hello Hanna,
i'd love to know more about your work.
We could certainly do with some film makers and photojournalists in our organisation! Currently, however, we are all working as volunteers and can't offer any paid work.
I've co-founded a global women's organisation to bring together women from diverse backgrounds and cultures to develop projects to help resolve women's issues and empower women. We are working closely with small women's groups in different parts of the world. At present, we are developing a project in Uganda, in a very poor rural area and have a wonderful Ugandan woman who is very keen to interview women there and establish what the need is and how they might be helped.
We believe very strongly in empowerment through the media.
We are also coordinating events worldwide for the Centenary of International Women's Day in 2011.
If you feel any of this might be of any interest to you at some point, I'd love to hear from you.
Blessings
Chris
PS I'm based in North Dorset - not so very far from you!
