Teaching and learning key concepts of Community Psychology by means of Photovoice

Undergraduate students, coming from School of Psychology and School of Political Sciences of University of Florence, have deepened during their course key concepts in Community Psychology, working particularly on topics that are at present particularly relevant for civic life in our country, as injustice and – on the other side –social inclusion and feelings of belonging. Helped by their tutors, they have learned how to use Photovoice for expressing opinions and reflections about these subjects. They produced impressive videos and photo-reports that were able to represent youth thinking about these topics and that have been used to communicate the meaning of community psychology approach to other students of the schools. Creative methods in learning and teaching, so, may help a better understanding of community problems and may build a cohesive group among undergraduate students, even coming from different academic tracks and from different experiences.
