Film as Observable Communication & My Film, My Story
Welcome to the website of Film as Observable Communication (FaOC) & My Film, My Story!
Every event in everyday life, small or large, has the potential to be a story that you would like to share with another. You tell stories together, (Grove, 2014; Grove & Harwood, 2022). By telling a story together, a story grows and you get to know eachother.
Everyone communicates! With verbal and non-verbal communication forms such as facial expressions, sounds, spoken and/or written words and gestures. But there is also the visual language, for example through photos, icons, drawings and film. Film as Observable Communication (FaOC) is based on the idea of using film as "visual" words in communication and storytelling.
The FaOC (teaching) method has been developed in close collaboration with the children, young people, parents, teachers and speech therapists from the project My Film, My Story. Big thanks to all for this!
Have a good time!
