Videomaking & Research



Videomaking & Research
Our videos are the result of a participatory methodology, developed during our journey, that combines action research to video storytelling.
But what do we do in practice? We tell stories of collective action! Prior starting shooting activities, we carry out qualitative and participatory research that allows main characters of our stories to define how to realize the video.
Secondly, we start shooting the interviews and then we edit the video following the structure given by key protagonists.
An important aspect of our work is that, by combining research and videomaking, we work without scripts. This allows us to bring innovative research and video products to the public.
You can find more about our methodology by watching this video!
Our videos can be requested by:
- cooperatives, associations, movements and companies that want to communicate their work through innovative and bottom-up ways. For instance, our videos can be requested to convey the main contents of your Social Reports;
- NGOs, institutions and actors in the international development cooperation that want to document the impact of their projects. Our methodology will help you presenting the key findings;
- Universities and research centers that work on collective action and cooperation. Aroundtheworld.coop will transform publications (books, publish papers, reports, etc.) into videos to disseminate results to the public.
- shooting and/or post production;
- documentaries;
- qualitative and quantitative research in the following fields: development economics, sustainable human development; human geography; gender studies; cooperative studies.
"I was the first woman of the coop to be elected president. I was committed to making sure that in the following elections other women may feel that they could play a role in the decision making positions."
Sebastiana Gomes Siqueira - COPPALJ

Our offer is based on our experience in the academy and fieldwork research. We adopt participatory learning methods and our videos are key learning tools around which we develop our training. We organize tailored workshops, seminars and lectures both online and in presence.
We are also about to launch our online Moodle on cooperative principles! This training course is vital not only for cooperators but for all cooperative passionates, students and practitioners.
We offer training courses to:
