Description
"An essential factor involved in the development of appropriate solutions is their accessibility to the desired audience. One of the approaches which has proven to be an effective tool in opening up new channels of communication is the photonovel. The photonovel has permitted access where other media have failed; it has filled in the gaps where more traditional, and often more expensive media have introduced ideas but without great and lasting impact. It is more important as a means of information dissemination and as a catalyst for audience participation.
The Photonovel: A Tool for Development is an important addition to the Peace Corps Program and Training Manual Series. It includes the step-by-step preparation process as well as a sample photonovel. Along with others in this series, it is designed as a working and teaching tool for development workers."
