Photo Story Year 6 highlights scholars’ views on societal issues
The Niels Mulder Scholarship Foundation conducted Photo Story Year 6 to encourage scholars to showcase creativity, critical thinking and storytelling skills through photo-based narratives centered on social awareness.
The initiative carried the theme “Imulat ang Matang Nakapikit: Si Juan Laban sa Katiwalian,” which aimed to raise awareness of societal issues in the Philippines.
Through the project, scholars created photo stories that combined images and written narratives reflecting truth, social realities and contemporary issues affecting communities.
Organizers said the activity encouraged participants to think critically and creatively while using storytelling as a platform for advocacy and responsible expression.
The project engaged numerous student participants who demonstrated originality, creativity and awareness in presenting their entries.
Through the activity, scholars enhanced their skills in writing, visual communication and social analysis.
Aside from developing creative abilities, Photo Story Year 6 also promoted self-expression, confidence and appreciation for the arts.
Organizers said the initiative became an avenue for learning and social awareness among NMSF scholars, reinforcing the importance of truth, awareness and meaningful expression in today’s society.
The activity reflected Enverga University’s core values of Mindfulness, Excellence and Fortitude by encouraging scholars to examine social realities, express informed perspectives and use creativity with purpose. It also supported transformative learning by allowing students to connect art, advocacy and critical reflection with real issues affecting society.
