Our project "Little School of Photography", was implemented three years in a row in 13 primary schools and 8 secondary schools in Split. The main objective of the project is to educate children in the field of photography and photographic techniques and to develop awareness of verbal and nonverbal communication. Students acquire theoretical knowledge of photographic techniques through 13 thematic units, while in the practical part they apply the acquired knowledge and develop new skills. During the 2012/2013 year, we have conducted the project "Bridge" - project of Intergenerational Solidarity, whose main objectives were the active participation of young people in solving the problems identified in the community, encouraging the humanitarian and voluntary work, the fight against exclusion, social integration of the elderly, the development of inter-generational communication and raising awareness of the public, especially of the younger population to the special needs of the elderly. During 2015, we implemented the project "International Colony of young photographers" with the main goals of educating young people from different countries on intercultural dialogue and European active citizenship and exploring the cultural heritage of the city of Split.
