Being part of this creative team of peers taught me a lot about virtual global & remote teamwork,video creation, editing, story telling (& story making); comfort zones; and consistently coming up with long form portrait TV content every single week without a production crew.

Being part of this show has not only improved my skills, it’s assisted and supported me in my work. I feel I’m more creative than ever; take more risks by putting myself “out there”. The show has been a conversation starter around creative collaborative teamwork & how it works.

When you get a group of people who come from different countries, backgrounds and are volunteers – we do it for the love and fun of it – we enjoy making this for our community on Snapchat. We have all learned a lot in the 18 months of doing this. https://t.co/DCGE0sY7sL

I’ve enjoyed creating the back story to Shazza & building her around research into the work of reporters, Foreign Correspondents & fixers. It’s made me appreciate that these journalists are out to present news that we NEED to see & hear about (and NOT what we get on social media) pic.twitter.com/1Ka01CBDep

Being part of this be creative team has also brought opportunities to speak at conferences and events around use of the Stories features – especially co-created stories – in social media around presenting your profession, industry or company. pic.twitter.com/dpKNVUFUbF
