SVM's community media collaborations viewed in over 80 countries - Pacific, Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the Americas

Welcome to the SVM Media Hub Social Ventures Media is a community based, independent media and arts enterprise that works across a variety of sectors in civil society - it aims to put the tools and processes of media and cultural production into the hands of ordinary people so that they can tell their own stories, communicate their own ideas, and promote their own social and cultural enterprise SVM's approach to media is to shift our thinking and practice from the notion that it is the perogative of only news and broadcast media, documentary film makers and other professional media makers to represent the lives and stories of ordinary people in a time when the traditional boundaries of media production and distribution have changed. In terms of cultural production and arts based activity, SVM facilitates and encourages people who are engaged in enterprise & ventures outside the domain of artists and the arts industries to pick up these tools and put them to use as communications tools & channels. SVM employs techniques and methodologies from a wide range of disciplines and practice and seeks to "devolve" these to grass roots level, adapting and tailoring these to the most immediate needs of community and social enterprise, demystifying and building capacity - Video & digital media production, Theatre, live perfomance and public presentation, visual & graphic art, music, Marketing & PR, Communications strategy design, web based technologies, Social Media, Social Business, publication & journalism, business & enterprise incubation- and more. SVM defines its activity under the heading of Community Media and clients/participants as collaborators or Community Media Makers. Community Media is raw, low-gloss, participatory, diverse and inclusive. The Community Media Maker sets the agenda, process and purpose of the "telling" - and the media professional's role is to make this happen. SVM Project Features will take you to blog entries on current projects.
