“The world that connects us”

In November, the online volunteering workcamp “Photography & Environment through international eyes” was organized.

As the virtual life grew fast, in Inex Slovakia we took the opportunity to create online volunteering activities. The aim of the workcamp was to spread environmental issues awareness through photography. Everyone was welcomed to join this international project.

Mixing the art of photography and the environmental topic, the project was for beginners in photography, passionate photographers or nature lovers. There were workshops, open discussions, games and little challenges. It was a chance to express different points of view about environmental issues, while sharing photography tips and tricks.

As a result of this project, the volunteers created an online exhibition called “The world that connects us”.

Along this exhibition, we let you will discover the environment through international eyes. Amateur photographers rose to the challenge of sharing their perspectives of the environment. Coming from different parts of the world, they have one common point : they are nature lovers. We invite you to enter multiple universes.

From a tiny detail to a global vision, rediscover our surroundings with us. Photography could be powerful for sharing a message and connecting with people. Sometimes a picture tells more than words.
