ABOUT!

The Youth Photography Exchange is a six-month art program for youth (15-19) in Canada and Germany who want to explore storytelling through photography. From October 2025 to February 2026, participants will connect across borders, share ideas, and create projects that reflect their unique perspectives.

What’s included:

Interactive workshops on photography and storytelling
Guided photo-walks in Victoria and online
Partner projects with peers in Germany/Canada
Independent photo projects on themes like environment/climate and racial justice
A final virtual exhibition open to an international audience

You don’t need professional experience: just curiosity, creativity, and an interest in connecting with others. Victoria-based participants will also receive a $250 honorarium.

Why join?

Learn new photography and storytelling skills
Collaborate with peers from another country
Take on leadership roles in curating and sharing the exhibition
Showcase your work to a global audience
