The Team
The project brings together in one collaborative effort people of all ages, working in highly diverse fields. The Contest Teams The contests to date have been implemented by hundreds of organisations and individual outreach workers working in partnership - youth groups, schools, women's groups, and specialised NGOs and associations. The team includes, to cite a few examples, organisations working on behalf of street kids or young people in prisons, networks of school teachers in disadvantaged areas, structures involved in combating substance abuse or fostering the well-being of individuals and families directly affected by HIV. The Contest Participants and Winners Contest winners often become key resource people in subsequent phases of the project, and are called upon by local partner structures to serve as specialist outreach workers in community-based prevention activities. The Jurors
So far, representatives of over 300 different organisations have served as jurors. Those individuals often point out that SCENARIOS jury duty is particularly conducive to the development of lasting professional contacts and synergies, frequently founded in friendship. The Film Production Teams
Film Distribution Partners
Two primary strategies are used to ensure that the SCENARIOS films are widely distributed at community level in Africa. First of all, shipments of the films on DVD or VHS cassette are sent to SCENARIOS national team leaders, who then get the films into good hands in their respective countries. And secondly, shipments are sent to the headquarters of organisations and businesses in Europe and the United States for subsequent distribution to their offices in Africa. Examples include the Swiss Tropical Institute, the German development organisation GTZ, US Peace Corps, Abraço (Portugal-based, reaching out across Lusophone Africa), CRIPS (France-based, helping to deliver the films across Francophone Africa), PLAN International, the International AIDS Alliance, IPPF and the Royal Tropical Institute of the Netherlands (KIT). Evaluation Partners Qualitative and quantitative evaluation activities are designed and implemented in collaboration with international specialists and local partners. Independent consultants are responsible for external evaluation.
