Lisbon, Portugal – In April, one of VOW Media’s team members attended “Us and the Others,” a training course supported by Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme. The course, organized by Associação Spin, was based on the belief that photography is a powerful media, able to transmit messages, change minds and attitudes. The main aim of this training course was to provide its participants with the possibility to use photography as an instrument to communicate and foster multiculturalism and as a tool to change people’s awareness of other cultures and promote intercultural dialogue.

During a week, participants developed not only their technical and theoretical knowledge on photography, but also learned new ways to integrate other cultures and where able to connect this two subjects to raise awareness and convey a message on multiculturalism using just images.
One of the outputs of this project was a authorial project developed by the participants, which can be found HERE.
