The Communities in Focus project uses the medium of photography to highlight the diversity within our communities but also the similarities that we all share.
By involving groups that may feel excluded for various reasons we will be increasing their capacity to build new relationships and also increasing their personal sense of belonging within their own community.
The groups will share their stories from their communities through visual images and storyboards, which will allow the participants the opportunity to explore their own communities and discover more about where they live and the ‘others’ community. Through this process the participants will have increased understanding of the similarities and differences within their communities and also be more able to understand the common issues that affect all communities. This project will have a wider impact than just the groups involved, as they will showcase their work within their local communities. This will have an impact on the larger community and should act as an inspiration to others and make a statement that, through contact, it is possible to make an impact on the lives of others.
This project is supported by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund 'Investing in your Future'
