Documentaries related to SDGs and Rights
Feature Documentary / Social Impact Strategy
Beneath the luxurious surface of the cruising world, a handful of human beings reveal, through their hazardous jobs, the efforts needed to craft the entertainment of the few and challenge the meaning of happiness.
The network is growing thanks to the support of NGO Shipbreaking Platform, and the contacts with The Ocean Opportunity Lab and IndustriALL Global Union.
We aim to further establish partnerships with Organisations and Stakeholders active both in the cruise ship production chain and the protection of labor and environmental conditions.
Given a growing concerned global community and the central role of the Ship Recycling Regulation for the EU Parliament in the incoming years, we aim to reach a heterogeneous audience, help build more responsible citizens, and support concrete actions in favour of the most fragile subjects.
The project currently supports five SDGs.
Primi Piani is a collective of creatives with members in Milan, Trieste, and Valencia. In the past years, they have documented the lives of humans from war zones to slums, from remote villages to megacities across Europe, Asia, Southern America, and the Middle East. Their experience in video-making, communication, and project management ranges from the profit sector to NGOs, allowing them to carry out tailored impact strategies that work synergistically with films, causes, and audiences.

Plenary
Although there is a universal approach to PCM-LFA-RBM methodologies there are subtle differences between international agencies and the types of project/programmes. The UN 2030 Development Agenda and the associated Sustainable Development Goals are applicable globally[1] and are to be implemented adhering to the Rights Based Approach[2]. These concepts may be alien to technically oriented staff, but the principles will have an impact on their work, in particular how they design, monitor and evaluate projects. In particular, how to appreciate the inter-connectivity within and between SDGs and their targets. Concrete examples of approaches and methods will be drawn from the Danida supported Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) programme in South Africa.
Participants to this workshop will be able to inter-act with stakeholders and key actors of the IWRM programme which ran from 2000-2010 which, in addition to water conservation and ground water policies, implemented over 100 community driven projects utilising the principles of the rights-based approach.
IWRM started in 2000, effectively the first year of the 15 years of the MDGs. Notwithstanding this, we introduced a bottom-up participatory approach to the institutional and capacity-building components of the Danida-funded programme, effectively the Rights-based approach, which is fundamental to the implementation of the SDGs. Without going into too much detail, the methodology was based on experiences in the 1980s with the Results Orientated Training approach tested with the ILO in South East Asia and later participatory methods with converting military personnel in Belarus (UNDP) and the Social Impact of Closing Chornobyl (EU under the auspices of the G7 Nuclear Safety Working Group). Fundamental to the approach is the focus on the end beneficiary, understanding their needs, capabilities and constraints. In the context of the SDGs, it requires training within Ministries, local authorities and even institutions such as WAITRO members to appreciate this paradigm shift of listening, not telling. And to use the terminology of fiction and screenplay writing, “Show Don’t Tell”.
This turns upside down how we approach capacity building/empowerment at the lowest possible level to achieve the SDGs. Above all, to develop project interventions, such as EU Horizon, which genuinely contribute to the implementation of the SDGs within the spirit of the Guiding Principles for the United Nations Development Cooperation Framework.[3]
For example, IWRM is a specific target in the SDGs, Target 5 under SDG 6. IWRM is also a means of achieving results across all goals and 59 out of all 169 targets.
