A camera gives equal opportunities both to disabled and healthy childrenDisabled children are usually isolated from regular children. They don’t know that they can be friends and see the world around them in an identical way regardless of their physical disabilities. In late May, the NGO “Perspectiva” gave children such an opportunity. The project “Photo workshop: Through the eyes of children” was implemented in three schools in Moscow - No.142, 518 и 1961. American photographer Pamela Mendelson participated in the project as a trainer. She came to Moscow to work with children for the second time. The first photo workshop was held last November, followed by the exhibition “Through the eyes of children”. This year, 20 photographers from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Samara and Ukhta were asked to join the workshop activities. They came to Moscow to learn more about the project and gain new experiences that would enable them to arrange similar photo workshops at their local schools. The photo workshop project is implemented jointly with UNICEF.
