Students of Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad of the advanced Fredric Roberts Photography Workshop spent the last week unearthing powerful visual stories on women Anganwadi workers in neighbourhood villages, and the repercussions of dramatic urbanisation in Hyderabad and its surrounding areas. Using professional DSLR cameras, the dozen students from grades 10-12 were empowered to identify, critique, question and analyse fundamental global issues in their immediate environment through the lens of photography. This model of learning integrates diverse socio-economic perspectives, and in the process forges a strong sense of connection and respect among the students.
