CESIE ETS is a European center for studies and initiatives based in Palermo, Sicily.
After two years of work on storytelling and collective healing from trauma, EU-CARES celebrated its results with an event at the European Youth Palermo Centre. With the support of Carlotta Magliocco and her Kamera Photo Lab, final materials, a catalog and an e-Toolkit were presented, engaging participants in an interactive photo walk. The project received both academic and practical appreciation, uniting young people, youth workers and storytelling professionals.
Are you interested in photography and visual storytelling? Do you want to discover the role of photography as a tool for dialogue and mutual understanding? Join the EU-CARES photo walk with photographer Carlotta Magliocco of Kamera Photo Lab and tell a story through your images. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 11 a.m. at EPYC – European Palermo Youth Center, Palermo.
Training in storytelling techniques enables youth in the Western Balkans to overcome divisive narratives, address collective trauma and promote reconciliation through dialogue and mutual understanding.
I would photograph double-parked cars, fancy parking lots, crosswalks, broken pipes, dirt, debris, falling buildings and murals. These images, which emerged from EU-CARES’ “Storytelling through Photography” workshop, depict urban conflict on the way from home to work. The Kamera Lab analog photography workshop displayed the participants’ creations, attracting and engaging passersby.
Every day we expose ourselves to dozens or hundreds of photographs, often overlooking their significance. EU-CARES’ “Storytelling through photography” workshop reminded participants of the power of images, invitingolɜ to tell the story of urban conflict with disposable cameras.
Thanks to EU CARES, fifteen participants learned analog photography to explore “urban conflict,” focusing on the experiences of migrant people in Palermo. A vernissage will be held on May 25 at 6:30 pm at Kamera Photo Lab in Vicolo Cefalà!
The energetic and healing potential of storytelling is at the core of the EU CARES project, aimed at promoting the use of narrative techniques in informal education contexts.
