"The Generation Africa project centres on the lived experiences of African youth, the largest youth demographic in the world, whose futures will determine the shape of global fortunes over the next few decades. Working with 25 filmmakers and production companies from 16 countries in Africa, the collection weaves together myriad narratives connected through the theme of migration. The stories are unique in that they give an insider perspective on universal themes, which can only come through stories told from the inside. Through global broadcasting partners and online distribution, many people around the world can watch these incredible stories of hope, loss and determination. However, awareness does not always necessarily lead to change or action.
This is where the STEPS learning methodology assists communities to come to terms with the subject matter and receive the tools to effectively engage an audience to elicit a constructive discussion. For over two decades, the STEPS learning methodology has assisted facilitators in explaining and coordinating screenings, and guiding subsequent discussions which has resulted in powerful yet empathetic group sharing.
With subject matter ranging from defending human rights to combating HIV/Aids stigmatisation, the STEPS outreach facilitation guides take an honest, people-first approach to dealing with real battles that millions of people around the world encounter. In this Generation Africa Facilitation Guide, facilitators will be equipped with the knowledge to host screenings (in-person and remote), understand how to use films to discuss social issues and guiding questions for a post-screening discussion."
