About Les Ateliers Reza / Reza Visual Academy

Convinced that the language of images can help create a sense of resiliency in vulnerable societies, the renowned photojournalist Reza created the association Reza Visual Academy in 2014 to implement photo-training workshops. These workshops are directed at youths living in precarious civil societies like refugee camps, shanty towns or disadvantaged suburbs, all over the world (France, Iraqi Kurdistan, Mali, Italy, Argentina,...). Photography is used as a tool to empower local actors in order to make them informed and able to express themselves using the latest information and communication tools. The overall aim is to promote self-esteem and self-sufficiency in order to develop a stable and peaceful society.
