Wellbeing Photography Programme
The programme focuses on the enjoyment that photography brings and its ability to connect us with others. The programme is about being fully present and using photography as a distraction, coping mechanism and catalyst for improving quality of life. It helps participants develop techniques for building resilience, confidence and self-esteem, and can be a form of stress relief. All of these factors contribute to improved wellbeing. Participants learn and develop the creative, technical skills needed to take great photographs. Through capturing images, the programme also leads to increased physical and social activity. Through blended learning, our programmes are accessible, engaging and interactive. Participants do not require experience of photography or a digital camera. Participants only need a smartphone and a willingness to learn photography and the art of wellbeing.
