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.
