What we're doing

Naturama KoVi is a project in Hungary, using participatory video (PV) in rural development.  The Naturama Alliance is an alliance of LEADER groups, who're collectively interested in sharing their experiences of rural development and all work on the edge of national parks.

Over the next week we'll be working with them on a project linked to tourist trails - local routes that guide visitors around a locality on foot, horseback or by car, using GIS.

PV will be used to produce rich media for the trail users, and to build the community of local people with an interest in each trail, such as stable owners, hoteliers, natural park staff and so on. The week will be a training-by-doing, developing the skills necessary to run the process throughout the Naturama alliance, documenting the process of making a trail, and developing and testing different ways of making the media for a particular trail.

Internet willing, we'll be blogging as we go along.  Weather permitting we'll have some lovely pictures  and videos of Hungary in the late Autumn to share.  It's also a chance to tell some good stories about PV in action.
