The film was made collaboratively by students and teachers using a ‘participatory video’ approach. The camera was an integral part of the project, with both students and us teachers picking it up to film when we saw something of interest. Each week we viewed the previous week's film together, to review and re-enter the topic.
The 60 page handbook is in three parts:
1. Background to the Project
2. Guide to the Film: to enable easy review of the film, and deeper understanding of the development of the sessions - includes a transcript and additional information about the sessions.
3. The Exercises: detailed information about all the activities in the project.
