Last month, an exhibition of photographic work highlighting young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the guidance of the Canon Young People Programme (YPP). The images were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, under the guidance of former pupil, Canon Ambassador and pro photographer, Clive Booth.
The exhibition featured seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12 pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle the sustainability issues that matter to them, using creative mediums as well as critical thinking.
