Belgium Photovoice
Photovoice is a participatory action research method that employs photography and group dialogue as a means for marginalised individuals to deepen their understanding of a community issue or concern. The visual images and accompanying stories are the tools used to reach policy and decision-makers. The aim of this research method is to improve conditions by making changes at the community level.

“Images contribute to how we see ourselves, how we define and relate to the world, and what we perceive as significant or different. The lesson an image teaches does not reside in its physical structure, but rather in how people interpret the image in question.”
- Carolyn C. Wang, Photovoice Creator/Researcher
Photovoice equips individuals with cameras so they can create photographic evidence and symbolic representations to offer insight, teach others about their experiences and help others see the world through their eyes.
“Tell the story.”
