Not only does photography allow children to express their thoughts and feelings about their surroundings, but it also helps them to develop deeper connections with their environments.In this photography course designed by Beyond Books, children will be taken on a journey to find their voice and to channel that voice into photos that truly speak a thousand words.In each class, students will learn a short lesson on the fundamentals of photography and will have hands-on practice taking different styles of photos, individually and in groups.

In each class, students will learn a short lesson on creative writing fundamentals and then have hands-on practice using different styles of writing with fun, thought-provoking writing prompts. At the end of the course, students will get to take home a copy of their published book that will be presented to parents and visitors at a book-signing session on the last class. | 5,500 THB | TBD |
