CPB Learning Lab

We took our Hey workshop to Kumaran School for Children with Special Needs in Ennore this month!

There were 24 participants of different age groups, with various disabilities such as autism, ADHD, and Down syndrome.

Neurodivergent individuals have a heightened sensory perception that allows them to examine and understand details in ways that neurotypical people often can’t. The participants were taught how to capture unique and fun self-portraits and express themselves through the photographic form. The session ended with singing, dancing, and a fun game of passing the parcel!

The Hey workshops are currently supported by
