If developing filmmaking skills or testing your existing skills while making an impact interests you, this is definitely for you. The charity WORLDwrite’s “Train & Shoot” volunteering programme is open to everyone aged 16 and over. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or have never held a camera, this is a unique volunteer programme with hands-on, face-to-face camera training and professional shoots. Once your skills are honed, participants will form crews to film interviews and play readings covering Haiti’s rich culture and history in April, and inspiring talks at the Hackney History Festival in May. This project will result in the production of over 30 videos for online distribution. Every volunteer will be credited for their work—and in the media world, credits are currency. We’ll also provide lunches and cover local travel expenses.
