Why? The main problem of the NGOs’ is to share and spread the information and to provide the visibility of the activities. Especially, the Youth NGOs try to realize this visibility and valorisation activities either with amateur efforts or professional efforts with little budget. Because they don’t have enough competence in the field of communication they can not share their outputs with the target audience efficiently. Visuality has the central role process of realizing the activities. The photograph is the most important component of the visuality. Through this course we aim at while conveying information about photography to youth workers, youth leaders and project managers, increase their personal skills and make them to gain more efficient visual materials from the activities they realized.

Where? One part of our activities will realize in Ankara where we can supply our requirements easily and give us some different visions. The other part of our activities will realize in Kirikkale where supply us the most suitable atmosphere. You can see some photos of these venues at the below.

Who? As it is told above, the youth workers, project leaders and youth leaders can participate in this course. The participants must be over 18 and there is no up limit. We will cover %100 of accommodation, meals, travel insurance, local transfers, trips, activities and %70 of travel costs will be reimbursed during the training course in Ankara. Each organization will participate with 2 persons.
