This project gave disadvantaged youth from the culturally diverse Malibran/ Boondael neighbourhood in the Ixelles municipality the chance to express themselves and portray their neighbourhood through photography. Young workshop leaders taught participants everything about photography, from selecting a scene and developing film, to framing and exhibiting the photographs. The workshops not only brought together young people from four continents and richly diverse ethnic backgrounds, but also integrated them further into the neighbourhood by providing a space for them to engage in a dialogue with the adult community. By participating in the project, the youths gained useful knowledge, stimulated their creativity and enhanced their self-esteem through the recognition of their achievements. A shift of perspective occurred within the community, as parents, neighbours and shopkeepers saw beyond the former image of youth as a “nuisance” and changed their opinion in this regard. The project greatly and positively impacted the community with the display of photographs in shop windows enabling a dialogue between the youths and the shopkeepers and beginning the reconciliation process. The youngsters not only gained a new place in the heart of their community but also in the municipality, as the photographs were also displayed in a famous exhibition hall in the heart of the Brussels region.
