Take Part Exeter: Active Learning for Active Citizenship

Working with the Police Authority

Short training video designed by Exeter CVS for Devon&Cornwall Police Authority as part of their recruitment drive for volunteer board members and custody visitors.  Previously recorded interview footage was too low-resolution to project full-screen during the training session, so a montage of 'deliberately' distorted footage was assembled with special effects. The clip opens with a 30-second lead-in, during which the trainer would introduce the video. Editing and effects by Friday Animal.

Big Society Conference Presentations

In November 2010 Exeter CVS co-hosted a conference about developing The Big Society in the South West.  The conference was over-subscribed so video recordings were made of all the presentations and shared online for those who could not attend. You can watch more video footage of all the presentations on the Youtube playlist at www.youtube.com/exetercvs
