From Stories to Action

Photovoice creates opportunities for communities to share lived experiences in ways that inform decision-making, strengthen programs, and influence systems change. This interactive workshop guides participants through every stage of developing a photovoice project, from identifying a purpose and designing culturally relevant prompts to facilitating discussions and translating findings into action. Attendees will explore ethical considerations related to consent, privacy, and ownership while examining real-world examples from Latino community initiatives. Through guided activities and planning exercises, participants will begin designing a photovoice project tailored to their own organization, community, or program area. The session emphasizes how storytelling can become a catalyst for community engagement, advocacy, and meaningful change.
