3.3.1 organizers need to understand social location and how various lived experiences shape the program - only then can they try to do the same for others and wider structural/systemic issues
3.3.2 if everyone were to self-reflect on a regular basis, the world would be a much better place - especially when it comes to health and wellbeing - need to instill this in society

5.2.2 video journalling to take in-depth look at lived experience - could be really useful for health research
5.3 It is up to the incoming and future generations of researchers to legitimize it as a research process / methodology - the foundation is there
5.3.1 Methodology needs to be refined
5.3.2 bringing it into research and policy circles
5.1 Documentary filmmaking can be thought of as visual ethnography
5.1.1 emphasis on humanism, collaboration and long-term immersion
5.1.2 both identify question to explore, rigorous planning of design/methods, similar data collection techniques, etc.
Health promotion campaigns should take a decolonization approach to maximize impact and meaningfulness under current societal dynamics.

4.2.1 building meaningful and mutual relationships
4.2.2 truly understanding the colonial history underlying their social conditions - this happens through dialogue and reflexivity

4.3.1 Remembering to stay connected to the land
4.3.2 Using art as coping and resilience strategy
4.1 Important to question western ways of knowing and doing
4.1.1 creating own understanding of how your experiences shape knowledge and how knowledge shapes experiences - not relying on what you've been taught traditionally
4.1.2 Can be difficult to approach when framed this way - seems to ambiguous for some

1.3.1 Individual focus fails to recognize impact of colonialism that can inform health strategy
1.3.2 Emphasis on relational power
1.1 Can be impactful in fostering community resilience and increasing ability to minimize impact of traumatic events
1.1.1 COVID-19 pandemic as prime example

2.2 Four phases that involved collection of 30 art pieces and concluded with the painting of a physical mural
2.2.1 Digital collage to bring together experiences and stories while unifying under the idea of hope
2.2.2 Great way to engage multiple different age groups, foster a sense of community during challenging time
