Explain the concept of the Snapshot Story and that it is a Community Reporter technique (use the handout to help you/the participants). 3. Devise a Snapshot Story question with the participants on the topic chosen (see step 1) and write in on a piece of flipchartpaper. 4. Demonstrate to participants how to record (either using audio or video) on the ICT devices available (i.e. smartphones, tablets, voice recorders, digital camcorders etc.). 5. Support participants to use the ICT devices and question to record and a Snapshot Story in either pairs or small teams. 6. Facilitate a group review of the stories.
