ection 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."

"Can the stories people tell influence the way they see the world? This book seeks to address that question through a study of the viability of movie making as a critical pedagogy activity. Positioned at the intersection of education and communication for social change, it explores the relationship

between the generation of subjective knowledge through storytelling and analysis, and systemic change. Central to the book is a case study from Nepal. By using video as the action element and analytical material of coursework, youth participants generated a new critical awareness, engendered by themes arising from group discussion. Through the analysis of these themes participants initiated an emergence known as conscientization. Led by two critical educators, participants used the production, screening, and analysis of their own movies to propel the course, or praxis, forward. This book seeks to inform the practice of critical pedagogy both practically and theoretically, and also offers a contribution to the fields of participatory action-research and communication for social change."
