Helping children with core curriculum subjects…

Great project by @FotosynthesisUK

Helping children with core curriculum subjects doesn’t have to be endless revision! ‘Literacy & Maths Using Photography Schools Project.’ http://t.co/2ifIQZjSkF Pls. share #shapesaroundus

What will you help us to achieve?

We want to deliver 64 practical ‘Literacy & Maths through Photography’ workshops to children in 16 primary schools in Brixton, South London. 500 children from different economic and ethnic backgrounds will benefit from the project in the 1st year.

Using photography as an integral tool this project aims to support the inclusive development of literacy, speech and language and maths in all children irrespective of their learning and linguistic abilities. 

Our campaign and why it’s important to us?

Building on the success of a 3 month pilot project that we carried out in Spring 2014, we have received initial funding from a local charity to deliver a programme of workshops using photography to support literacy and maths in primary schools in Lambeth, south London, over 3 years.  We need to secure match funding to make this happen!

Learning through photography encourages children to explore their world as they photograph scenes from their daily lives. Their photos become catalysts for oral and written expression, and family learning.
