Fourteen teachers from 7 governement schools in Bangladesh joined their peers in Pakistan and Tajikistan for the Photojournalism 2.0 Program. The workshop introduced educators to photojournalism, digital storytelling for social change, and global collaboration. Trainers included experienced journalists, experts in digital storytelling, and social change agents.Upon completion of the teacher workshops in each country, the same teachers from all three countries will participate in an online course together this spring.
