My Art Media Lab invites you to our "Children's Stories Through the Art of Photography" course, where you'll master the art of narrating children's stories through photography, advocacy practices, and essential photography skills.
This photovoice course covers:

A camera is a powerful tool for advocacy, allowing you to become the voice for the voiceless, particularly children, whose issues are often overlooked.
