WHAT WE DO
Our workshops run for 6-8 weeks, providing mentorship to children and youth throughout their creative process.
From becoming familiar with a variety of analog cameras to learning darkroom techniques, participants gain tactical skills through hands-on experience.
Workshop activities integrate social themes such as gender equality, healthy relationships, and emotional expression.
While learning about composition, children are encouraged to draw connections between what they choose to capture and their perspectives on the world around them.
Every child is given a camera to take home so they can continue to explore their creativity independently.
OUTCOMES
By the end of every workshop cycle, chiIdren will have deveIoped their own negatives, made seIections, and created darkroom prints.
By working closely together, children from diverse backgrounds build meaningfuI friendships, contributing to a greater sense of belonging and community.
During our focus groups, children are invited to caption their images, discuss their meaning, and give feedback on our workshops.
ChiIdren are given tools to express themseIves creativeIy, whiIe gaining skiIIs in criticaI thinking, communication and refIection.
All participants decide which photographs they wouId Iike to share pubIicIy, and are given opportunities to present their images in various exhibitions and pubIications.
