Aroiki doing two jobs at once, The Gambia

The aim of the workshops is to help people in the community to become aware of their own ability to understand and change the situation in which they live. I help local community members to produce their own pictures at local level, such as discussion starters, educational comic strips, puppets, educational games, picture cards, community maps and flannel boards. At some workshops we include silk-screen printing to mass-produce an image or as an income generating activity.

This is a list of the workshops I have facilitated, alone or with another member of 'Health Images':
