Noon to 4pm / Free of charge - Photo Journalist: Tony NTumba

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the third of four workshops in SESSION TWO.

Please complete session Application HERE.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will view and react to a global gallery of professional photos about water by a journalist who has produced and

written for the news and radio. Why? Because millions of people in the world live without clean water. Water is a challenge in most parts of the world. After learning the elements of journalism, we will select photos that stimulate our discussion. What's the story behind the photo?  What stories in our own lives are newsworthy?  We'll create our own short pieces to share with the group that we can publish as a group project.
