“I’ve had the chance of working with Catcher Media in Malawi and Mozambique as part of development projects run by NGOs. I was always amazed at how they managed to make the content and approach of their workshops relevant and fun for participants from backgrounds as varied as rural teachers from Lunzu and adolescents from Nampula. The passion and skills they bring surpassed any cultural and linguistic barriers there could have been – and reflected on the participants and on the originality of the stories and the quality videos they came up with. Julia and Rick form an incredible team: they are energetic, caring, patient and dedicated. I look forward to working with them again – even though after every training half of my team/project beneficiaries are so excited about the experience that they want to quit their jobs to become professional video makers!!” – Olga Guerrero, DAPP Malawi and PSI Mozambique

We felt very humbled too at all of the hard work all the groups put into their films: they used drama, animation and green screen.

Some of the young women had travelled from remote rural areas to be involved with the project. The groups began using their films straight away in their face-to-face work across Mozambique. PSI work in 46 countries globally and have more than 50 years of experience tackling health challenges  around the world.

Our workshops included ideas on how to build rapport using film-making and drama techniques to enable individuals in the field to actively engage young people.
