Aims of the practice and description of participants - Two diverse group of women including one from Afghanistan, Irak and Syria who lived in a refugee home, and the second gathers women who lived in a city housing. This will allow to create a sharing and discussion place between women who live in the neighborhood but who are different culture and backgrounds. - Foster mutual understanding, community building and engagement through working together in each step of the production of a Participatory Video.

Resources, Materials needed -	Filming technical equipments. -	TV Camera.

Duration 10 workshop sessions of 3 hours per week.

Step-by-step - what has to be done? 1.	Establishment of the first contact with foreign women through the refugee organizational which help them and inviting them to a first meeting to become familiar with them. While at the same time, others women are invited to participate in the project through networks and contacts of the organization. 2.	Ice breaking. 3.	Group formation activities. 4.	Playful activities in order to get participants familiar with the equipment no matter how experiences and tech-friendly they are. 5.	Decision making activities by the use of critical thinking and negotiation about the process and the topic of “living & public space”: 6.	Storyboarding and creative activities including the production and expression through art work and music. 7.	Filming (e.g., showing a tour from one women’s home to the next and the walk between, showing items that women are proud of, show the group is linked due to Stand 129, etc.). 8.	Sound and video editing in a group. During these two steps of digital creation, it is necessary to switch roles continuously in order to allow all participants to try out, make mistakes and learn about film making. 9.	Presentation of the outcome during a public screening accessible to contributors and interested audience.
 * 1) How addressing the topic?
 * 2) What are the different steps to make a video?
 * 3) How and with whom conduct interviews?

In this kind of practice, facilitators should be more reactive and pay more attention to the foreign women and their welfare: -	Help women to actively participate and discover the equipment. -	Need to be reactive when elements that might compromise the realization of the video. For example, the occurrence of language problems can be counteracted by including many hands-on and creative activities which made an exchange of ideas and experiences possible even without the use of many words. -	The workshop agenda may change sometimes and need to be adjusted every week in order to keep activities meaningful for the participants. -	Sometimes it happens they don’t know the neighborhood very well. To tackle it, accompanying them from the hostel to the workplace is a good solution.
