Descrizione del progetto:
Photography is one of the most powerful tools to change the perception of the people. The photos that we take and we see are incredibly powerful, and they play a huge role in shaping how we see the world and the people around us. Every day, we constantly see photos of people—in social media, on websites, on television, in advertisements, in print, and in our daily environment. In many ways, the photos we see in the media have created our culture for us, and have defined the standards of who and what is supposedly good, normal, and valuable. However, the media is not as inclusive of everyone as it could be due to biases, prejudices, and stereotypes that have been passed down for generations. Because of this, the images we consume are not an accurate depiction of reality. Thus, it can be said that images that are not representative of everyone and that preserve the status quo are problematic because they perpetuate the inequalities of society. They can negatively affect how we see ourselves and our perceived worth if we don’t fit into the narrow “ideal” demographic that has been created for us.
To change that, making people aware about these stereotypes and involving young people who are the main people who uses the social media post to create a new narrative which do not exclude but include the people who does not fit into the defined standarts or the “ideal” demographic would make a create change. Thus, we would like to work with young people within this youth exchange to promote the inclusive photography and qualifying young people to use it as a tool will effectuate a huge change.
Stories of Inclusion – Photography as a Tool for Inclusion is a project to change the image of photography mainstreamed among young people and create an awareness with the actions of young people in our local area and in participating countries. During the development of the project, we have learnt our previous experiences as an organisation; music, art and now, we would like to use the knowledge through the tool as a photography.
The specific objectives of the project:
-To develop awareness on young people with the photography and the story telling through the photography;
-To create an awareness about the positiveness of the diversity and contributing to the shifting the paradigm of “ideal” the exists to the real images;
-To develop skills of young people on photography and visual story-telling;
-To qualify young people as visual story tellers to promote the diversity in their own countries and
become changemakers to act towards to the issues of images;
-To create a local impact in Alcala la Real and making the local community aware about the diversity
issues through the photo exhibition and local set of activities;
