How can we convey a message using a photograph?
Building on the journey of a class mascot between school and home, this workshop explores an educational approach to photography. Specifically, it consists in preparing and documenting through photos the adventures of the mascot travelling from family to family. Through this approach, the children handle the photo media both in terms of production (shooting) and of reception (analysis, impact of the point of view, etc.) to sharpen their perspective.
