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."

is made up of eight long films and thirty-four shorts by award-winning filmmakers, as well as new and emerging talents. The stories, originating from twenty-eight countries, are moving and thought-provoking as they tackle big issues and pose challenging questions. In November 2012, these films were screened worldwide on more than seventy national television networks and are now available online and on DVD. It has been said that, in this century, we have the tools and potential to overcome extreme poverty. But poverty persists, and the gap between the poor and the wealthy continues to widen. The demographics of poverty are also changing, with new poverty emerging in the North and new wealth emerging in the previously poorer South. Poverty and inequality is global, and the causes for its continued existence are largely structural. The long films explore these structural causes, whether they are tax evasion by multinational companies, lack of land rights for the poor, unequal access to health care, or gender imbalance. The short films provide glimpses into people’s lives as they try to deal with poverty and inequality. All the films can be watched as separate and complete stories. But as a collection, they provide a great platform from which to delve into questions about why poverty still exists in a world of plenty." (Introduction)
