PhotoVoice CONNECT is a new approach to delivering participatory photography programmes online, developed by PhotoVoice, developed in 2020 to recognise the impact of restrictions to in-person workshops and engagement.
PhotoVoice developed a new toolkit, supported by a bespoke online platform which provides a new way to achieve comprehensive community engagement online.
Emphasising the principles of ethical and safe engagement, PhotoVoice CONNECT combines elements which have been rigorously tested to ensure online projects and training activities are provided as effectively and safely as possible.
These tools are integrated to ensure that the user experience is seamless, with expert facilitators controlling the flow of content, information, and activities.
