On 29th January 2025, Young Europe Society, in collaboration with "Octavian Goga" High School from Miercurea Ciuc, hosted an inspiring photo workshop aimed at helping scholars enhance their digital skills and social understandings. The non-formal learning phase provided an introduction to the basics of photography, including camera settings, composition rules, and essential techniques. After the theoretical part, the scholars ventured out into the streets of Miercurea Ciuc to put their newfound knowledge into action. Their goal? To capture the challenges faced by the city and its people, as well as to showcase the vibrancy of the local community through portrait photography. 

The experience encouraged the scholars to look at their surroundings through a new perspective, to connect with their community, and to use their creativity as a means to make a difference. Through their photos, they contributed to a broader conversation about the future of Miercurea Ciuc, reinforcing the idea that awareness is the first step toward progress.

This workshop demonstrated that photography is not just about capturing moments—it’s a way to drive education, social change, and empowerment.
