Abstract
This chapter discusses the Creative Citizens study, an extensive research project conducted by the authors from 2013 to 2015, looking into the community media practices of the South Blessed collective, a self-motivated network of young creatives approximately 18 to 26 years old. It offers an opportunity to explore the discursive formations and claims of community video practices in relation to the testimony or participants. It also suggests that despite the appearance of digital media abundance the need for informal education aimed at critical media production practice is more important than ever in the constitution of twenty-first-century citizenship. Findings of the chapter shows that despite ready access to social media platforms and, to a more limited extent, media production tools, human relationships, interactions and peer support are most valued by members of community video networks.
