Requirements

Part 2: Photo-voice:

Using your cell phone or regular camera please take pictures of this place. (You can also take video.) As you are taking pictures/video, please answer the following questions:

What do I see here?

What’s really happening here?

How does this relate to my life/to my community’s life?

Why does this problem, concern, or strength exist?

What can I/we do about it – if it is a strength, how can I/we further support it; if it is a problem/concern, how can I/we resolve it?

Please prepare a power point with 4 to 5 photos that answer the questions above and tell the story of this place. Be creative. You can make a photo montage, narrate the story of the place, or use video if you like. You can include music or other people telling stories about the place.

The important part of this project is that you help us understand the impact of CBPR work on this place. (Note: the “we” mentioned above is your community.)
