THE SEWING WORKSHOP
Our fantastic Fashion and Sewing Workshop empowered our talented teens to not only grasp the intricacies of the sewing machine but also to hone their skills in creating flawlessly straight stitches.
THE PHOTO CONCEPT
We provided our young photographers with a creative challenge, encouraging them to develop a unique concept and then capture a series of compelling photographs that revolved around that central idea. This exercise pushed them to think critically, transforming their vision into a cohesive visual story. They embarked on a journey to explore their surroundings, connecting with their chosen concepts and skillfully translating them into evocative images. This hands-on experience not only honed their technical photography skills but also nurtured their ability to convey powerful narratives through the lens. It was a captivating exploration of artistic expression, fostering the growth of each participant's photography prowess.
