The rapid advances in technology and the uptake of smart devices across the globe has changed the way we can collect and use qualitative data. It has presented opportunities to enhance participatory methodologies such as Most Significant Change, participatory forums, participatory media & for human centred design.

At the Story Catchers, we have developed an innovative and effective methodology that uses film for monitoring and evaluation, social impact measurement and human-centred design processes. The qualitative data collected is used in the whole process from the initial data collection, analyzing the data to creating documentary-style reports to communicate findings.

"Stories for Purpose” Using documentary film to ...

Using documentary story and stakeholder participation in monitoring, evaluation and to create visual reports. It’s the story behind the numbers that bring a traditionally dry and boring process to life.

'The Story Catchers' use qualitative data collection methodologies, participatory media (where the audience can play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and sharing media content) and documentary videographers to collect stories that have a greater purpose. These stories are used in the creation of a series of documentaries to be used in participatory forums to unpack the documentary films for the monitoring, evaluation and reporting process.

The Sacred Story - Ethical Story Catching

We all can recognise and celebrate the power of story, however is the same recognition given to the ethical responsibilities of the story catcher?  I believe that story is sacred and attention must be given to the ethics of collecting and sharing the individual and community’s story.

The Authentic Story - Stories for Purpose

Authentic storytelling highlights issues and encourages people to share information. Few would deny that authentic stories have the potential to drive considerable social impact. These stories are stories for purpose.

Over the next couple of blogs I will be taking a look at ‘Stories for Purpose’; what are they, how do we capture them, and how and when do we use them.

, , , , ,

As a photographer I take 1000's of images every year.

In 2013  I took over 4000 images on my iPhone alone.

What an amazing way to document my life. So heres my year in images and wow what a year it was - I travelled across the country a few times for work (which is my pleasure) had some crazy adventures, met some awesome people, saw some amazing things, hung-out with some beautiful friends and family and learnt some really cool stuff. 


So heres to life - and what an amazing life it is.

Seeing the world with different eyes – 30 Day iPhone Photography Challenge

A Photo a Day for 30 days

I am a frequent user of instagram, in fact I think I may be a bit obsessive and often post daily if not more often.

I have often thought about doing the 365 day challenge but have never got around to finish it, often stopping after a few months. However I have often done a themed 30 Day challenge and achieved success so I will start here, with a view to do 12 x 30 day Challenges + 5 days  = 365 Days.
