For this workshop the participants were split in two groups regrouping people from different countries. Whilst a group were at Aculco, the other group went for a guided visit of London, during which they discovered Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, The Thames, The London Eye, Number 10 Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Oxford Circus and finally Covent Garden. During this Tour, participants had the chance to use the photography skills that they developed to make their own record of London.

Transcription:
“ My favourite workshop was the one at the Aculco Radio in London. we spent there all the day and the activities were so interesting. We were divided in different groups to speak about our dreams and the opportunity about the job, especially the situation of the market of work in our countries and the problem of the youth unemployment. After this discussion we were able to get in the radio and do our own radio emission and this was a very exciting experience. This experience has shown us how it’s possible to realise the ideas that you have and you can create almost what you want, what you think is the best for you and for your friends, for the country in which you live. It gave us a lot of hope. I learned a lot of things, I can start to know other people from all over the world and this is a way to improve the capacity of know myself and know how to manage with the relation and with other people and with other nationality is better because you have to relate with such different kind of culture and education so this was the first skill I think; and the second was of course to use this media instrument. So the first day we started using camera and that was the way to know an instrument that is so known but we cannot use in the best way, we don’t know such a lot about this. And of course the radio and we visited also places like the BBC in which they do a lot of work in an open wild world way. It was an occasion to develop the knowledge about the world, how the world is going on and why this. This was another opportunity. ”
