The choice to use video clips is more than a convenient format. It's a teaching tool with a strong evidence base.
At Topic Talk Co, every clip is chosen because well-selected video content, paired with thoughtful prompt questions, helps people learn and open up in ways that talking alone often can't.
Watching a clip together creates opportunity and a shared focus in which to safely explore topics in an indirect manner. Discussion can occur about the video, with the focus on the characters and situation. This approach is taken from the well-researched, evidence-based approach of video modelling (VM), where people learn by watching a skill or scenario play out on screen before applying it themselves. The prompt questions that accompany each clip support that learning by turning observation into genuine conversation.
