The practice of participatory video help develops critical viewers while encouraging all participants to perceive their own reality, to develop an effective means of communicating that reality, and to promote it, denounce it, or affect change. Participants not only learn how to produce an effective short participatory video, but they also learn practical tools and techniques used in visual persuasion—an essential learning outcome for an era in which video/image consumption is growing exponentially. Professor Palmar Alvarez-Blanco, Dann Hurlbert, and a few students discuss their 2018 Spanish Course focused on Civic Engagement, Social Change, and the Participatory Video.
