description

In this chapter, the authors examine to what extent a participatory video process promoted by a group of university researchers and conducted in collaboration with two grassroots innovations in the city of Valencia (Spain) has been a tool of human development innovation. They explore both the process and the product using different categories belonging to the participatory action research and human development and capabilities approach literature. They conclude that the process has expanded the capabilities of the participants, particularly those relating to rethinking and re-signifying their own innovative practices, and the more instrumental capabilities developed in connection with the use of video and teamwork. Furthermore, videos contribute, firstly, towards spreading a certain vision of the grassroots innovations aligned with the values of human development and, secondly, to creating communicative spaces where such innovation can be shown and discussed.
