Photovoice is a participatory and activating research method which currently gains in popularity. It is part of a larger array of community-based research and integrates subjects in the research itself through methods of photography and focus groups etc. In cooperation with the network for European Social Work YES Forum, I offer a three-day intensive training to learn the method photovoice. This international training will provide the opportunity to students from diverse European countries to meet and learn together, including hands-on empirical implementation. Furthermore, students will have the possibility to travel to either Italy or Austria and come together with practitioners of youth social work, non-formal education, and other students. Thus, the trainings will be held in English and students need to be travelling as well. Since this is funded through Erasmus+, costs for participation, travel, accommodation, and food are covered.
The course requires some prior methods training, hence it is open only to Master students.
Costs for participation, travel, accommodation, and food will be covered thanks to Erasmus+ funding. Any other expenses need to be self-financed.
As there is a limited number of places, students that want to attend one of the trainings need to hand in a motivation letter describing why/how the method of photovoice benefits their academic work and studies. This letter should be sent to
fbesche@uni-bremen.de and indicate for which of the trainings the student is applying. The deadline for the motivation letter is April 15th. Decisions on attendance will be made shortly after that deadline.
