FREE* Smartphone Photography Workshop | Training for Organisations | 1 July | 9:30 - 15:00 | Tehidy

Over the coming months, we are working partnership with Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum to offer some one-off training sessions that explore Active Looking and Nature Connection through a series of creative workshops for organisations.

Coming up first on 1 July, join us for our first session where you will work with trained artist-photographers to develop your smartphone photography skills and explore what it means to actively look and engage with what is right in front of us.

Using Active Looking Principles, you will explore how sharing these skills with others creates positive actions that lift mood, strengthen relationships and nurture community connection.

Whether you are working closely with communities, looking to develop your skills or want to examine how you can bring a sense of creativity into your everyday work, this session provides a unique opportunity to engage with a creative practice and explore how this can lead to positive change.

*If you are a Voluntary, Community or Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisation you may be eligible for a grant to cover the costs of the training. Funding may be available through VSF’s Learning Academy, which offers training subsidies for people working or volunteering in the VCSE sector in Cornwall. Please contact [email protected]

Special Family Day on Saturday 27th June with Cyanotype and Camera Obscura Workshops with bookable slots though our Eventbrite link below

The Active Looking Project Annual Exhibition celebrates a year of accessible creative workshops, meet-ups, and shared challenges across Cornwall. Bringing together work made in community spaces, from libraries to local hubs, this exhibition highlights how creativity can nurture wellbeing, spark conversation, and strengthen connections.

Guided by four simple principles, that looking is deliberate, slow, caring, and open to everyone, the project invites us to see more thoughtfully and act with intention.
Featuring over 90 photographic prints alongside collaborations with local artists, creatives and community participants, the exhibition weaves together the many strands of the project. It offers a moment to pause, reflect and recognise how small, collective actions can lead to meaningful change.

Come and experience the power of creative engagement, feel free to stay for a cuppa and a chat.

The exhibition is FREE to attend but if you would like to take part in the Family Day sessions, please head to our Eventbrite to book a space: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/make-it-better-mitber-cic-32598381453
