Overview

This course will offer you the priceless opportunity to see Prague and the Czech Republic while learning how to tell its stories responsibly, all through the lens of visual journalism as a practice of presence, interpretation, and global awareness. You will grow as storytellers and travelers and ultimately be able to appreciate the wide differences in perspectives and values found among nations and peoples. You will see the importance of place and history in even the most routine photos you make. And you will have the chance to pursue personal passions in a new context.
