More than a third of all online activity is spent watching video, opening up a range of opportunities for small charities and community organisations to engage with their current and potential supporters and beneficiaries.

Luckily, telling the story of your work has been made simpler with an ever-expanding range of apps to help you shoot your video and share it with the world.

You don't have to produce a feature-length film to demonstrate the impact your work makes. In fact, short, authentic stories have extraordinary power to inspire and motivate action. Short videos are also suited to busy lives and watching content on the move.

In this introductory course from Superhighways you’ll learn how to craft tiny, digestible videos using popular free and low cost mobile apps.

You’ll also come away with ideas for collecting and editing user-generated content. 

Is this training for me?

This course is suitable for anyone with intermediate computer and internet skills that is responsible for communicating a charitable cause's impact to funders, supporters and beneficiaries.
