Steps
STEPS is a Non-Profit organisation passionate about the power of documentaries to disrupt, shift and move the world around us. Their diverse projects use film to empower, start a conversation, educate and produce action around human rights and environmental issues. Their aim is to use socially relevant documentaries to give a voice to marginalised and disadvantaged communities and enable local and global conversations around the most important topics of our times. The organisation trains facilitators in their methodology (The Learning Cycle) in order to use these documentaries as tools for awareness and advocacy. STEPS uses a multi-platform distribution approach: facilitated community screenings, broadcast television and online.
