Re-Vision: Celebrating Diversity through Photography
Seven European centres engaged in teaching and learning through practice in visual arts, crafts, design or media are
co-operating on a shared programme of creative learning for socially disadvantaged adults. This innovative project is
employing creative approaches to the practice of photography and IT, and led by experienced facilitators in local
centres, adult learners create images and texts about how they see themselves and their circumstances. Such
collaborative ‘learning through doing’ not only enables learners to re-view themselves in a positive and celebratory
way but also encourages self-confidence and stimulates ambition. A Website, created as a virtual gallery of learners’
products, provides a means of learner interaction across all centres. The Re-Vision project is monitored through
meetings for managers, facilitators and learners held in different centres within the partnership, alongside public
exhibitions of learners’ texts and images. Virtual and physical dissemination of products and processes thus enriches
the experience of participant learners, actively promotes social inclusion, shares good practice and innovative ideas,
and provides a platform for further trans-national collaboration.
