Build relationships across differences.
We offer online and in-person workshops designed to build relationships across differences. During a 1-2 hour session, participants share their own photographs and stories about a pre-selected topic. They engage one another with questions of genuine curiosity. And they reflect on the ways they were impacted by the experience. Along the way, your group will become familiar with photovoice and have the opportunity to explore what a project or training could accomplish.
“Photos have the profound power to connect, to enter into one another’s stories, and develop empathy.”

Free Online Workshops
Every month Interfaith Photovoice founder Roman Williams facilitates our free hour-long online “Snapshot” workshop. Attendees share their own photographs and tell stories about how they experience and express gratitude in everyday life. They engage one another with questions of genuine curiosity. And participants reflect on the ways they were impacted by the experience. Along the way, attendees become familiar with photovoice and consider what a project or training could help them accomplish. We focus on gratitude because it is known to improve social and emotional well-being. It is our way of doing good in the world while we introduce you to our work.
Customized Workshops
We’ll design a workshop for your group that explores a specific topic, such as believing and belonging on campus, faith in the workplace, or faith and flourishing. During the workshop, participants will discuss their photos and explore the ways these conversations build relationships across difference and offer insights into the lived experiences of people from different walks of life. These workshops are offered for a small fee plus expenses if travel is involved. Schedule a meeting to learn more about our custom workshops.
Faith at Work Workshop
In recent years, religion has become part of diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace. These efforts are built on the understanding that people flourish when they can bring their whole selves to work. When employees flourish, their company does too. We’re eager to support the efforts of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) by offering a Faith at Work Workshop. Participants use their own photographs of the ways they flourish at work because of their religious and spiritual beliefs and practices. And they explore ways they can leverage their positive experiences to encourage businesses to become more inclusive of religion and spirituality. Schedule a meeting to learn more.
