Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

As you know at CTA we are working on the production of a training kit focusing on "Supporting the spread of good practice in generating, managing, analysing and communicating spatial information". In the context of the initiative we plan to produce a 20 min video documentary on PGIS practice. We are therefore on the look for footage which could be used in the process.

Specifically we look for footage on the different participatory mapping methods including the following: (i) ground and sketch mapping, (ii) scale mapping (using GPS and/ or conventional survey instruments); (iii) participatory photo mapping, (iii) participatory mapping using satellite images; (iv) internet-based mapping (screen-captures & action); (v) legend making; (vi) data gathering (vii) people discussing around maps; (vii) individuals/groups of people making a case using maps, (viii) etc.

Footage should clearly refer to a development context.

The documentary will be available for free under a Creative Commons license via the training kit and online. Sources of footage used will be duly acknowledged.

Should you be interested in making your footage available to the production team and - provided you are the author or hold copyrights on such footage – please get in touch with me at Rambaldi[at]cta.int and we will discuss the matter further.
