The Design of an Interactive Framework using Participatory Video

At: Humanitarian Engineering Research Group

This Bachelor's Thesis, commissioned by the Humanitarian Engineering Group, aims at developing a framework that bridges cultural gaps and identifies ethical and sustainable solutions for Ukrainian refugees through Participatory Video. Participatory Video (PV) is a collaborative method where individuals from the same community work together to create a video and share their perspectives. The participants, Ukrainian refugees, are asked to use the framework as a guide to individually film their segments of the PV. 


By conducting an ethical review, literature review and interviews, design requirements were constructed. Ideation phase led to prototyping, refined through testing and evaluation. Despite adapting the project to a simplified PV approach, the process fostered a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in participatory methodologies and highlighted the importance of adaptability and responsiveness to participant needs.
