| Summary: | The following is a personal perspective on how the Fogo Process evolved in Newfoundland and Labrador in the late 1960s and early ‘70s, and a description of some of the methodologies and key principles that became a part of it. The Fogo Process was a seminal participatory communications initiative that empowered people through the use of film (and later video). Some 30 years after it created considerable “buzz” as an innovative participatory tool, the Process may be more iconic than understood, but not because it is no longer relevant. Incorporating participatory communications components, built on the legacy of the Fogo Process, could significantly strengthen many current development initiatives.
