Shoot With Cameras – Not Guns®

[Tina Allen | Liddle Kidz]

I think this is an awesome program and want to share it with everyone in the Liddle Kidz community.

Imagine a school where kids receive Peaceful Touch® & then learn to Shoot Cameras - Not Guns! What a world this would be!

Shoot With Cameras – Not Guns®teaches children basic photography skills as a tool to express their feelings and opinions about their community. It then sends these young photojournalists into their community to capture their neighborhood through their eyes.

The photographs are used in a classroom setting to initiate discussions regarding the positive and negative aspects of the childrens’ experiences. They are also used to devise realistic solutions to the problems they identify in their photographs.

The program increases the students’ awareness of ways they can improve their community and also creates opportunities for children to express their feelings about their surroundings with their families through their photography. The children create a photojournal of their artistic work that
is exhibited throughout the community.

In the past, children have displayed their photographs and stories at several community venues including hospitals, community centers, schools, and public libraries.

Alina Nadsady, Founder of Bueno Kids and the Shoot with Cameras-Not Guns® Program has developed a curriculum that can be used in classrooms. If you would like more information about the curriculum and this wonderful program visit BuenoKids .com
