Objective: Youth will have time to both individually reflect on their photos and take part in a facilitated group discussion about their photos. This allows for participants to build upon each other’s ideas and start to generate meanings from their photographs. This is one of the most time-intensive phases of photovoice. At the end of this portion, youth will write a one paragraph narrative for their photo.
