Discover a unique way to connect with your child through the power of photography. This workshop introduces PhotoVoice, a creative activity that allows children to express their likes, dislikes, and challenges through images instead of words. It’s especially designed for families with children aged 0-12 years who have developmental concerns or disabilities.
You will learn how to encourage your child to take photos of activities and places they enjoy or find challenging, with a special focus on outings to libraries. This engaging and supportive online session will help you understand how photography can boost your child’s confidence and communication.
The workshop is delivered online, providing a safe and interactive space for parents to learn and share experiences. A second session offers the chance to ask questions and discuss your child’s photo-taking journey.
This is a two-part workshop held on Tuesday 31 March 2026 from 19:30 to 21:00 AEDT and Tuesday 5 May 2026 from 20:00 to 21:00 AEDT. Each session is designed exclusively for parents, carers, and family members, ensuring you gain all the insights needed to support your child effectively.
The sessions are interactive and delivered via Zoom, allowing you to join from anywhere in Australia. Attending both sessions qualifies you for a free small digital camera to continue encouraging your child’s photography journey (available to Australian families only).
Please note that professionals are not accommodated in this program, and a minimum of four RSVPs is required for the sessions to proceed.
This workshop is fully online, accessible via Zoom. You can participate from the comfort of your home anywhere in Australia. Detailed joining instructions and access links will be emailed to you closer to the event dates.
