Photovoice: Capturing Campers' Perceptions Of The Outdoor Experience, Jennifer Johnston

Research in Outdoor Education

Photovoice encourages participants to reflect on their life experiences by taking photographs, writing about, and discussing their work. It is based on Paulo Freire's empowerment education, which uses discussion to foster critical consciousness about one's life experiences. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Photovoice methodology and illustrate its application in a camp setting.
