Storytelling Expedition to Rwanda - Social Impact Documentary Tour
£ 2,400
Introduction
Join the Storytelling Expedition to Rwanda explore the country as a citizen storyteller. In partnership with Red Rocks Rwanda, we will learn about their efforts in community-based conservation, and produce documentary stories that help further their work.
Red Rocks Rwanda is a social enterprise that connects community development with environmental conservation. By bringing under-served communities into the tourism supply chain, they catalyze sustainable community development projects that help people help themselves. Their many projects help local communities get access to education, health care and sustainable income that honours their traditional way of life while providing a sustained, reliable source of funding for the local organization through the tourism.
On this Storytelling Expedition, we are invited into the local communities that surround Volcanoes National Park, a top attraction in Rwanda. We will learn about a uniquely Rwandan approach to environmental conservation, cultural conservation, community engagement and economic development, all while documenting the stories of the local experts, leaders and changemakers.
The aim of this Storytelling Expedition is to document the stories behind the community-based conservation efforts in Rwanda championed by Red Rocks Rwanda. We will learn about the struggles and successes of individual community members as they have come to embrace community-based conservation and the impact it has on their lives and culture.
Our group of travelers will become a crew of citizen storytellers and work together to create a library of digital media assets that Red Rocks Rwanda can utilize to help further their mission. The videos and photos we create will be used to effectively share their story with global partners, government entities and potential visitors.
Each day of the storytelling project will provide opportunities for conducting interviews, arranging photo sessions and documenting what you encounter in Rwanda. The ‘deliverables’ that our crew produces may include micro-documentaries, social media video clips, photo essays, event photos,
