Introduction Photovoice is a visual methodology that combines photography and storytelling to enable reflection on community issues and lived experiences. Photovoice is often used to generate critical dialogue and knowledge about important issues.

Activity Overview
Activity Goals
Begin with a warm-up activity to engage the participants in a brief introduction to photovoice, what it is, and how to use a camera.
Facilitate the creative engagement of participants and empower them to tell their stories and communicate these to each other and the wider public.
Participants will engage in a phototaking activity to explore their surroundings to capture pictures significant to them to answer a reflective prompt/question. Participants will discuss and analyse the chosen pictures and create a photo narrative.
Visually depict situations or events that may be difficult to talk about or put into words. Allow participants to centre their voices and share their experiences and knowledge as members of marginalized groups.
