THEME: the use of Therapeutic Photography as a help and support for youngpeople, in expressing their feelings, their emotions and as a mean tocommunicate without words 

Phototherapy is a discipline within mental health which uses photography tohelp clients coming to terms with any problems they might have.There aremany different techniques, and whilst some of them make full use of the

discipline of photography (ie. client and therapist engage in photographic sessions together), others merelymake use of photographs as a finished product.The term Phototherapy is generally understood to indicate the use of photography in a therapeutic contextwhere there is a qualified therapist and one or more clients. Conversely, the term Therapeutic photographygenerally indicates the use of photographs as healing tools in a therapeutic/healing context where thereare no qualified therapists (in co-counselling, for instance, or in personal growth, and mostly in social worksettings such as work with youth/disabled subjects etc.). 

The main goal of the project is to let the young operators know this discipline in order to use it in their regularactivities to help the youth in overcoming the youth uneasiness. The second goal is to help youth associationsto create and realize European projects that are part of the programme “Youth in Action” and that usetherapeutic photography as the main activity.

Periodically it realizes meetings andmusical formation courses with the biggest names of the Italian musical scene (singers, musicians, teachers,
