Session 3: Voices of Practice: A series on meaningful community engagement
Session 3 | When pictures speak: Film, photography, and trust-building in community engagement with Neeru Khera
3 February 2026, 12.00-1:00 pm IST
Join us for the third session in this series with Neeru Khera, an experienced communication and visual storytelling practitioner, as she explores how photography and films can deepen trust, amplify community voices, and strengthen engagement in research and development contexts.
Through stories and examples from her practice, Neeru will reflect on how visual media can connect people across differences, transcend boundaries, fosters empathy, and bring community realities to life in ways that words alone cannot.
What to expect:
• Insights into how photography and films can build trust and strengthen community relationships
• Discussion on ethics, safeguarding, and responsible storytelling in community contexts
• Reflections on the creative and joyful aspects of using visuals in engagement work
• Opportunities to consider how visual media can complement and enrich your own CEI activities
Whether you work in research, communication, or community partnerships, this session will help you see how the lens of a camera can also be a bridge, one that connects, listens, and honours the communities we work with.
Come discover how pictures can speak, and how we can listen better.
