The project aims to provide young people with the opportunity and the tools to become active members of the society. Through photographs, they have the opportunity to make known their lifestyle and the problems they face: marginalization, discrimination, social exclusion, intolerance and ignorance. The main PhotoVoice method is a non-formal education method that allows photo subjects to become their creators. The young people behind the camera can transmit to those around them what life means in their community, meeting young people with a different cultural background who dreamed of the same thing.
