The Storyteller’s Cafe NGO, through the support of the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, is accepting applications for the #BridgingStories photojournalism camp led by National Geographic photographer John Stanmeyer.

The aim of the camp is to bring together young photographers from Armenia and Turkey, joining the two groups through shared passions and hands-on learning of photographic storytelling techniques. Participation in the camp is free. 

The camp will take place from August 22 to 29, 2016, in Dilijan, Armenia. It will be followed by a working session and an exhibition in Armenia and Turkey held in January 2017.

We are now accepting applications from young people aged between 18-22 years old, residing anywhere in Armenia and Turkey, who love photography and are interested in basic journalism, have good English language skills and are ready to commit to the full length of the project.

The detailed call, application form, as well as information about our newly formed organization, can be found at http://www.storytellerscafe.org.

The deadline for applications is July 25, 2016.  For questions contact us at [email protected]
