The InSIGHT Out! project was started by a group of professional journalists who covered mass destruction and human suffering caused by the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster.
Moved by the spirit and courage of those living in tsunami-devastated communities in Khao Lak, Thailand and Banda Aceh, Indonesia, the journalists developed an idea to ‘turn the table’ on traditional media coverage by teaching young people to document their own thoughts, feelings and strengths under difficult circumstances.
Thus, the concept of InSIGHT Out! was born; to encourage the “victims” to express their own ideas about rebuilding their homes and families through photographs and stories, thereby aiding their psychological recovery.
A series of three intensive workshops and bimonthly weekend workshops are held throughout the year to train participants and local NGO partners in professional photography, writing, and editing techniques. During these trainings children between 8 and 15 years old are divided into a group of ten and learn basic principles of photography and digital camera handling.
While working in the same tsunami affected areas in Phang Nga Province in Thailand, the 2007 project broadened its focus much beyond tsunami recovery and started working with children in Thailand’s southern provinces Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat where ethnic conflicts culminating in daily assassinations, bombings, and random killings have affected adults and children alike.
Jeanne Hallacy, Project Director
