The purpose of this session is to equip attendees to host an engaging, interactive, impactful community event using the documentary
A Human Picture and the
Livable Guaranteed Income Documentary Screening Toolkit & Checklist.
During the session we will watch the 17 minute documentary which shares the experiences of four participants in the 2017-2019 Ontario BIG Pilot. Tom, Director of the not for profit who manages screening rights of A Human Picture, will share the story of how the documentary came to be. He'll also share some insights into the Ontario BIG pilot as Hamilton was one of the cities selected to participate.
Becca, the main content author of the Toolkit & Checklist, will guide attendees to plan & prepare for their own event. We’ll role play how to use interactive tools to engage the audience (e.g. mentimeter and Monopoly money!), how to tackle tricky audience questions (and use them to dispel BIG myths!),draft invite lists, brainstorm funding, craft key messages based on which angle of BIG they wanted to focus on (e.g. women’s rights, AI, poverty, etc.).
Sample advocacy tools will be provided that audience members could adapt as we also plan for action items to send the audience home with so the conversation continues well after the event.
