Verde Smoke

Here’s few of the photos I took as a volunteer mentor on a day field trip around Boston with three Peace in Focus youth participants and photographer and workshop supporter, Thaddeus Miles. This community mapping outing was part of a two-week workshop on using photography as a tool for conflict resolution and youth voice, held at Madison Park Village housing development in Roxbury and Northeastern University. Check out the youth’s photo’s on a map on Flickr or the group’s blog at http://peaceinfocus.blogspot.com/

Through collaborative photography and leadership training programs, Peace in Focus provides low-income youth around the world with innovative tools to transform conflict and advocate for social change in their communities. More about Peace in Focus at www.peaceinfocus.org
