Democracy in Focus: A Creative Photography Workshop in Bielefeld
The Summer-VHS workshop "Making Democracy Visible" is aimed at youth aged 14 and up and combines photography with social themes. Over five sessions, participants will learn to visually translate abstract concepts such as democracy and develop their own series of images. The course is free and takes place at the VHS Bielefeld in Ravensberger Park.

Photography as a Tool for Attitude and Expression
The focus is not just on technique, but on the idea behind the image: light, perspective, and composition are used to capture viewpoints, questions, and personal observations. This creates an event experience that connects creativity with social awareness.
