Launching of a Small Photography Project

with Street Kids



On the 8th of June, a small project will be launched in Tbilisi by a group
of European volunteers in partnership with Life Chance, a Georgian
organization working with street children. The idea is simple – 25
disposable cameras will be distributed to street kids from various groups,
and returned two days later to the volunteers, who will develop the
pictures. The street kids will then work in collaboration with the team of
volunteers to organize a small exhibition, which will be re-telling the
story of Tbilisi through the eyes of a street kid.



The project aims to encourage dialogue between people: “Who are you” “who am
I to you” “how are we the same” “how are we different”. The volunteers felt
that too often dialogues with marginalized sections of society depend on
reports, statistics, institutions, etc… They wish to overcome this by
directly giving to the street kids an opportunity to express themselves to
the wider society.



The project will allow the street kids to develop their self-esteem and
confidence, to work as a team towards a common goal and to be creative as
well as reflexive whilst having fun. Furthermore, the volunteers hope that
this will be an opportunity for the wider society to see Tbilisi through a
new angle and to engage with the multiplicity of narratives and stories that
build a city.



For the project to truly encourage dialogue and to succeed in putting these
street children at the centre of the stage, it is important to spread the
word!
