Belize :: Participatory Video on Climate Change and Disaster Preparedness  In September 2012, Proplaneta facilitated a group of community members and Belize Red Cross volunteers in Stann Creek District, Southern Belize, to produce a participatory video to inspire community preparedness in the context of climate change.

The group did 10 interviews in three different villages featuring local stories on disasters, the need to prepare, change and respond, all in the context of climate change.

After editing the video on a participatory approach, with the support of the local Red Cross team, the video was taken to Independence town, 100 Km South, for a community screening. After the film, there was a short debate on lessons learned by the viewers. They understood quiet well that even though they had never suffered similar impacts, climate change is already happening therefore they better start getting organized and be prepared.
