Project summary:

We will gather in Austria for 7 working days of exchange, peer-learning and exploring through the participants’ lenses. “Participatory Photography for Youth” offers an opportunity to young people to enlarge their knowledge in the sphere of photo shooting and use it as a tool for boosting awareness about topics that matter. Together we will be engaged in exploring fields such as practical photo shooting activities and photo editing, digital storytelling, different tools for making attractive visual content via pictures, advertisement through social media, and practice these skills while exploring the 11 Youth goals and how these connect and impact the daily lives of young people in various contexts. The proposed project was designed by young people for young people with the mission to create opportunities in non-formal learning and thus support personal and professional growth, stimulate a sense of active citizenship and help uncover the potential of individuals and the community.
