Through Their Eyes 

Transforming Lives Through Photography

"Through Their Eyes" is a transformative course aimed at empowering Ukrainian children through the art of photography. In collaboration with Shoot 4 Change , Maison des Cultures et de la Cohésion Sociale de Molenbeek, AT& T &  Ukraininan Civil Society HUb, this initiative provides practical tools and creative outlets to enhance the mental health and well-being of young refugees in Brussels.

Photography Class

Designed to unlock participants' creative potential and foster emotional well-being, our photography course integrates principles of art therapy to provide a holistic and enriching experience.

Over the course of eight weeks, children aged 8 to 12 will immerse themselves in captivating photography classes tailored specifically to their needs. Each session offers a safe and nurturing environment for emotional expression and artistic exploration. Guided by our experienced teachers, participants will have the opportunity to work both in the studio and at various locations across the city, expanding their creative horizons and capturing the beauty of their surroundings through the lens of a camera.

 

As the culmination of their journey, we organize a special exhibition to showcase the inspiring results of the project. It's a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the transformative power of art.

We already completed 2 rounds of the photo project, & showcased the culmination of our participants' artistic journey in a breathtaking exhibition  "Through Their Eyes," held at the prestigious premises of the EU Parliament and the Ukrainian Civil Society Hub. The exhibition showcased the children's photographs, revealing their unique perspectives and their brave efforts to overcome trauma. Visitors were deeply moved as they witnessed firsthand the healing power of creative expression.

We're excited to continue empowering children through the healing journey of art and photography.
