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

First Edition in English

At ANDANA, we’ve been teaching photography with an artistic approach since 2016. This course provides strategies to engage students and creative ways to implement photography projects using the expressive techniques of contemporary art.

This course is not a rigid method or manual. Instead, it’s a guide to discovering a world full of possibilities, using photography as a creative teaching tool to inspire 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 supplementary materials.

It includes reading materials, images, videos, and downloadable resources to support your photography workshops for children and youth. You will also get teaching resources, guidelines for pitching your offer, and additional materials for creating your presentation.

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

By the end of this course, you will have designed your first photography workshop for children and youth, feeling confident and ready to lead it. You will also be able to download your certificate.
