What is a photo-walk?

A photo-walk is a community-centred activity where children walk together with cameras in areas where they live. They document places that matter to them to develop narratives and inquiries. Asia Giuliani created photo-walks for children in 2018, after doing her own walks in East London. Click on the blog to read the incredible story of Peter Etchell, who Asia met on a photo-walk in Summer 2017. Scroll down to see the children’s photo-walk archive.

"A photo isn't just a photo, there's a story behind it. There is a history to a place and it's unique."

• Year 6 pupil, Belmont Junior School 2024

“It puts children at the heart of their community by helping them to look and listen. I believe that at our core everyone wants to be seen and understood. This project enables that to happen.”

• Better Bilingual, Bristol 2024

“We get to learn about people, what they wanted to do, how they changed as they grow up. We’ve learnt that nobody is the same. I prefer this learning.”
