South Park Library

South Park PhotoVoice presents "Change," an exhibit defining youth's ideas of Change and its impact in their daily lives and their community. Through the use of photography and creative writing, students identify the changes taking place in their lives and consider which of those changes they should encourage and those they should not.

Mental Health Students/Faculty

University of South Florida

Photovoice is a participatory action research method that engages community stakeholders to photograph areas of strength and concern related to a health issue and then critically analyze in focus-group discussion how and why the health concern persists in their community, toward the goal of co-identifying opportunities for change and health improvement. For the Brave Takes project in conjunction with the This Is My Brave 2023 show on the USF campus, we are applying the Photovoice method to bring stories of mental illness and addiction into focus and to the attention of our campus community. The mission of Brave Takes is to empower USF students as well as faculty and staff to share their personal stories of recovery and visions for change while controlling their level of disclosure of their identity in public.

Environment

Elementary school

A short documentary made about a project at an inner-city Toronto school in which young students were given a disposable camera to capture what they considered their environment. Images were taken by the children and they were interviewed about their reflections. Honestly in it's most uncynical form.
