The photographs, selected from thousands taken by ethnic children from Ninh Thuan, the northern province of Lao Cai and the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong, reflect the children’s awareness of urgent issues such as hygiene and environment.
These ethnic students were provided with a camera to capture what they saw in their communities. Through their eyes, visitors can get a glimpse into childhood games, school and family activities, and traditional festivals.
The activity is part of a project funded by Oxfam, an international organisation working to end injustice and poverty, and the Institute for Social Research, Economics and Environment (iSEE).
The selected students were trained in character photographing and story building by experts in the Photovoice method.
Addressing the opening ceremony, iSEE Director Le Quang Binh said “The project shows us the point of view of ethnic students. When people see these photos, they can understand more about the life of ethnic people, as well as how children see the world.”
