STORYTELLING EXPEDITION - Documentary workshops

I loved learning about the creative world of film-making and ethical storytelling.

September 13, 2024

I met incredible people and discovered a creative industry I knew nothing about. I now found an activity I grew to love and hope to carry on doing in the future. I loved learning about the creative world of film-making and ethical storytelling.

The most magical month I have had.

September 7, 2024

I learned so much through the briefings, my friends from the program, my newfound local friends, different corners of Tangier, Moroccan Arabic and how it compares to Levantine Arabic. It was truly an incredible experience.

I’m not the same person going out of it as I was going in.

September 7, 2024

I’m not the same person going out of it as I was going in. And all for the better! I find I have more confidence in my ability then I did prior too. Also the connections I made meant more to me than everything else. With my peers and the people that I was graced with meeting. Would do it again in a heart beat. I felt like we were able to explore and learn enough on our own and as a group. The only thing I would’ve liked would have been a couple extra days to spend after we finished the project.

The Truth About Actuality Abroad

July 6, 2024

Actuality Abroad is one of those amazing mom and pop organizations that has things so organized and so well planned out with the perfect amount of spontaneity, it’s hard to imagine a better experience could to be produced by anything more or anything less.

Our guide was fun and knew karate, so we were well protected. If i got stuck in an intergalactic elevator, I’d certainly want it to be with one of these guys. We arrived and learned about Documentary filmmaking, and learned the key to visual storytelling– exactly what we came for.

The best part of the experience is that i continue to use what i’ve learned about storytelling in my day to day and i have these guys to thank for that.

Great trip, amazing experience, good price, learned a lot, and the team is great. I hope to do it again soon.

The trip to the Green Mountain

June 15, 2024

This experience did not feel like school/work at all, Instead it felt like a genuine experience that helped me collaborate, create, and personally grow. I opened new doors to trying new things and I feel very fulfilled with this trip.

Great cultural experience

April 4, 2024

This was a great experience meeting some wonderful people and telling really important stories. However, I did expect to learn a lot more practical skills than I did, most of which I already knew. For the price you pay I was expecting better equipment and also to gain new skills. If you have studied filmmaking or documentary already I would weigh up if you think you would learn anything more as I feel like i covered a lot of what I learnt in my 4 years of study.

Highly recommend- especially for aspiring creators!!!

March 31, 2024

Travelling with Actuality Abroad was an all round fantastic experience. I had amazing support from the company and met the most amazing people while staying in Vietnam. As a learning experience it was the perfect balance between detailed tutorials and just straight up being thrown in the deep end. I also liked that the program is so centred around making positive changes around the world and supporting local businesses.

It was an amazing experience!

August 18, 2023

We had a lot of independence which was really nice because we got to learn how to make a documentary but also carry a lot of responsibility. The place we stayed was very accessible and it was very easy to get to different places. Overall it was a great experience and very well planned. I really liked watching documentaries with everyone.
