Among the many ways of combating nothingness, one of the best is to take photographs,
an activity which should be taught to children early on, as it requires discipline,
aesthetic education, a good eye, and steady fingers.

Julio Cortázar, “The Devil’s Drool”.

Start: February 17, 2025

Duration: 4 weeks
Modality: Online
First edition in English

We share the artistic approach we have applied since 2016 at ANDANA for teaching photography, strategies to capture attention, and numerous ideas for implementing photography projects using the expressive techniques of contemporary art.

It is not intended to be a rigid method or manual; instead, it is a guide to discovering a world full of possibilities by using photography as a didactic tool to enhance expression and creativity.

The training consists of an introductory module, five content modules you can complete at your own pace, and an additional module with annexes.

It includes reading material, images, videos, and downloadable documents to support your photography workshops for children and youth. Teaching resources, guidelines for submitting a financial offer, and additional material for creating your presentation are also included.

This training provides access to a Facebook group with the author, where participants can engage with others undergoing the same training.

Upon completion, you will have designed your first photography workshop for children and youth and feel capable and confident to carry it out. You will also be able to download your diploma.
