Media Education works across Scotland using participatory video to support individuals and communities to create films about issues affecting their lives based on their lived experience. The films are then targeted at audiences to raise awareness, influence changes in policy and create conversations and debate.
We were keen to have the chance to feed into the PSP some of the information we were hearing from Disabled people across Scotland about the issues they faced in getting and sustaining employment. We also wanted to bring to the PSP our experience in providing a platform for people with lived experience of an issue to have their voices heard and influence change.
