Connecting with your child through photography
Thursday 12 December @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm AEDT
This summer holidays, encourage your child to express themselves with PhotoVoice… and have fun!
What activities do young children with a disability or developmental delay enjoy at the library or in their community? Let them show you with their photos!
Some children are better at expressing their likes or dislikes through images instead of words. In this two-part workshop, learn to use PhotoVoice: an activity where you encourage your child to take photos of activities and places they enjoy, or do not like and find challenging.
PhotoVoice is fun and promotes engagement with your child. The images are uploaded to inform community organisations or businesses about enhancing accessibility and inclusion. Your personal details remain confidential.
We’re especially excited to learn how children experience their local library.
Families who’ve participated in PhotoVoice say it helped their children become more confident in expressing themselves and making their own choices.
Join us to explore:
- How PhotoVoice enhances family engagement
- What types of photos your child can take
- How to describe the photos in your child’s voice
- How to upload the photos
- How the photos will be used to promote inclusion and accessibility
In the second session, parents can ask further questions about PhotoVoice, learn how to create a photobook and discuss their picture-taking experience.
Special offer
After completing both sessions and uploading the photos, your family will receive a kids digital camera as a gift for your child to continue enjoying photography (one camera per family).
