PhotoExchangers- an enrichment model
Youth in North Cambridge and Northern Ghana recently participated in a cross-cultural art project- Photoexchangers. Through this project, the children learned about their own and each other’s neighborhoods. Through documentary fieldwork both groups photographed and interviewed local residents, businesses, and organizations. They made photo books of their fieldwork to exchange with their partners and analyzed each other’s work, which sparked email dialog. Their email communication continues and brings new meaning to the power of cross-cultural education by youth for youth. Please check out the website to learn more about this amazing cross-cultural project.
