SOCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY AND ITS EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION

This Learning Partnership aims to create opportunities for educators, voluntary trainers working with socially, culturally, economically disadvantaged people to investigate how photography and its emotional manipulation, might be used to help people at risk of social exclusion. 

This concept derives from the Art Counseling approach and from the experience of two very famous photographers, Jim Goldberg and William Klein.

Photography and emotional/creative manipulation could be used by the author to show his/her way of being and living, thoughts, wishes and hopes, what he/she simply hates or refuses and tells his/her story. This helps the author to develop self-awareness and relationships, to activate communication and social-cultural integration processes, to overcome personal and group conflicts, to develop individual and team creativity.
