Photowalk around Katowice near the venue

Description

A photowalk for people interested in sharing photography skills. Photowalks have traditionally been something organised last and tried to fit around an already heavy schedule. This time I like to start within the conference schedule and venture foreth from the venue ending at point, but keep it open for the group to enjoy a meal somewhere.

Part of the session will start with a breif over of what is needed to planned before walking out the door

How does your session relate to the event theme, Collaboration of the Open?

this is a knowledge sharing exercise to share skill to show how photowalks can be organised and empower attendees to go back to thier communities and host walks. Use them to build their community and Commons .

I want to change the approach, photowalks are an import resource for community building and growing content they need to be treated as such.

What is the experience level needed for the audience for your session?

Everyone can participate in this session
