Information: GIZ Photography Workshop Religion Development Background
In 2008, the “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit” (GIZ) – the German agency for development and international cooperation – decided to actively integrate art as a means of dialogue and development. The idea was to annually organize workshops on selected topics and have them interpreted by international photographers through photographic art. After the event, the best pictures were presented to the public in an exhibition. As both workshops and exhibitions have received wide attention, the GIZ Berlin Representation and the GIZ Sector Programme “Values, Religion and Development” will be implementing a photographers’ workshop from May 23 to May 27 2016 in cooperation with the “Ostkreuzschool of Photography in Berlin and the Ostkreuz Photo Agency. Ten photographers from all over the world will come together to collectively work on the topic value, religion and development. The workshop along with its exhibitions aims at inspiring people to engage themselves respectfully with sustainable development and religion through the medium of photography.
