Youth workshops

laif foundation youth workshops

Young people primarily use image-based media (Insta, TikTok, YouTube). AI makes creating images easier, but also more challenging. Our workshops accompany young people through this development. They increase media literacy, visual analysis and critical thinking skills (e.g. with fake news and deepfakes), as well as an understanding of photography, photojournalism and artificial intelligence. Important skills for the participants’ everyday lives and therefore for society and democracy.

JugendBildredaktion

Telling stories with pictures.
In this great pilot project, young people from various Hamburg schools and other institutions develop projects and create their own photo reportages on local topics that are important to them – all with the support of professional photojournalists and in a relaxed atmosphere.

Project JugendBilder

Teaserbild Workshops Kinderhilfswerk

The project, sponsored by the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk, offered young people the opportunity to express themselves with words and images in seven workshops. They were able to show how they see themselves and their topics, how they would like to be portrayed and how journalistic content should be prepared from their point of view.
