Photography workshop

10.01.2014

Every year, NCF organizes a photography workshop for the children of the Bedouin unrecognized villages, in cooperation with volunteer photographers. This year, the workshop take place in two villages – Sawain and Khashem Zane, during the winter holiday of the Arab schools in the Negev. The workshop started with a distribution of digital cameras that the children will be allowed keep for themselves at the end of the workshop.  During the last couple of days, the children started learning how to use the camera, and volunteer photographers like Miki Kretzman- head of the photography department in Bezalel, Esti Nuibach and Achikam Seri came and work with the children in order to give them photography skills. The photographs taken during the workshop will be presented in the future at photo-exhibitions, in order to raise awareness of the situation in the unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev.
