CAMERAS IN THE CLASSROOM
In our flagship participatory program, we use photography as a tool for self-expression, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and classroom inclusivity. With our cameras, we learn about the fundamentals of photography - composition, vantage points, elements of design - and how they can be used to create compelling images and tell stories about ourselves, our families, our community or any current topics being explored in class.

"I learned a lot about how to look at pictures and all about cool vantage points like worm’s eye view, bird’s eye view, and long shots!"

"Diana and Jordan worked with our grade 5/6 class over the course of six weeks to produce amazing photos that we were all thrilled with. Project Kids & Cameras is well designed, engaging from the very start, and provided us with lots of opportunities to extend and connect with the curriculum in various different areas. Diana and Jordan had great rapport with our kids, arrived organised and on-time, and overall provided us with an overwhelmingly positive experience for our staff and students."
