At Our Version Media, we teach individuals, communities and organisations to achieve impactful, inclusive and authentic storytelling using a range of media. We help people – tech-savvy and technophobes alike – to make videos that tell compelling stories, bring projects to life, showcase their social impact and connect with new audiences.
Mobile Storytelling workshops – Partners
“SVS partnered with Southampton City Council and Our Version Media to develop and promote Giving Thanks videos and skill development through a small grants programme. Veronica, as ever, was clear and focused in delivery of her element of the work and kept other partners fully informed on progress to the successful conclusion of the project.” – Jo Ash CBE, Chief Executive, Southampton Voluntary Services (SVS)
“These workshops were great for the young people. They left with really practical tools they could use to create their own digital content. Particularly valuable for our project as they now have the confidence and knowledge to produce high quality digital material for their social enterprises.” – Natalie Watson, The Agency Southampton, Energise Me
