SUMMARY:Audio-visual storytelling workshop | 10-13 July 2017 | Metro Manila\, the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Between 10 and 13 July in Metro Manila\, staff and volunteers from different departments and chapters of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) joined a participatory video workshop facilitated by IFRC’s audio-visual experts. This workshop aimed at enhancing the audio-visual storytelling skills and capacities of the participants\, allowing them to better advocate on behalf of the communities the Red Cross supports. \n \nOver the course of four intensive days\, participants familiarised themselves with theories and practices of audio-visual storytelling and participatory video techniques as useful tools in addressing key vulnerability issues. Through several hands-on assignments and group work\, participants explored different ways of telling powerful stories\, showcasing the impact of the Red Cross support and making community voices heard by the decision makers. During a field visit to one of the vulnerable communities the PRC supports\, participants engaged and made videos with the community members\, bringing people together and enabling them to “show and tell” their own situation\, challenges and achievements. \n \nFollowing the workshop\, participants will be able to create films to showcase community voices\, share this knowledge with their peers and inspire others on humanitarian work. \nFor more information\, contact Mirva Helenius of IFRC at mirva.helenius@ifrc.org

We are aware that the Myanmar Red Cross Society alone cannot meet the humanitarian needs of the people in time of natural calamities or disasters. Concerted efforts have to be rendered by the government\, people\, civil society organizations\, and humanitarian organizations to help those who are in need.” \n“Moreover\, the Myanmar Red Cross Society can help trained communities to be disaster resilient and the government\, on its part\, will be providing necessary assistance through its line ministries”\, he added. \nSince its inception from the battlefield of Solferino in 1859\, the Red Cross has been actively carrying out humanitarian work all over the world for all the people in need regardless of their nationality\, religion\, political opinion.

Over 44\,000 Red Cross volunteers provide humanitarian aid to more than 500\,000 people\, building safer and stronger communities through a diverse and innovative range of services tailored to local needs. From Community Based Health and First Aid Programme\, Building Community Resilience Programme\, Hpa-an Orthopedics Rehabilitation Centre\, Restoring Family Links services\, Disaster Preparedness\, Response and Recovery Programmes\, the Myanmar Red Cross Society provides these services through the tireless dedication of its volunteers. \n“World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day\, 8 May\, is an opportunity to recognize the contribution and achievements of the millions of volunteers and staff members around the world who are keeping our commitment to humanity every day – by making the last mile effort to ensure that no one is left behind. In complex contexts with increasing vulnerabilities\, our ability to access people in need is constantly changing. But our volunteers and staffs are finding creative and innovative ways to adapt local solutions to reach people in need and help them prepare for dealing with and recover from these challenges\,” said Professor Dr. Daw Mya Thu\, the President of Myanmar Red Cross Society. \nThe theme of 2017 World Red Cross Day is “Everywhere for Everyone.”  Myanmar Red Cross Society commits to maintain the momentum of good work and success that it has achieved to continue striving for improvement and betterment to help the people according to their needs and to thrive as community based humanitarian organization by promoting the role of youth\, the role of people living with disabilities and empowering women.
