The programme

Through participatory photography, the workshop enables participants to tell their own stories through the camera lens. By sharing and discussing their photographs in a welcoming group setting, participants explore their experiences together and learn from one another's perspectives.

The workshops are designed to encourage creativity, build confidence in visual storytelling, and create a supportive community where participants can connect, share, and reflect.
