We Participate - Participatory Photography for Education and Developement
© We Participate
We Participate has a goal to bring participatory photography to marginalised and vulnerable groups. In its most positive light participatory photography can be a powerful creative outlet and give to its participants the power of communication.
The key aim is to design and facilitate a safe and creative workshop environment where the magic of photography can inspire and enlighten the lives of both the participant’s and audience involved in the process.
Anna Stafford set up We Participate in July 2011 after completing the PhotoVoice training. "The training with PhotoVoice proved that in its most positive light participatory photography can be a powerful creative outlet and give to its participants the power of communication. The in-depth and practical knowledge acquired from the 3 day workshops in London combined with my experience of and teaching GCSE and A-Level photography for five years enabled me to feel confident to plan the Framing Change project for former street children in Mbale, Uganda. To run the Framing Change project I was based in Mbale, Uganda and worked with the Children’s Restoration Outreach (CRO). CRO is often the life blood and saviour for many of the street children in the Mbale region that have to work or live on the streets. The aim of CRO was to reduce the number of children on the streets, rehabilitate them and reintegrate them into their families".
