Every year TonyWild will admit interns to help with the different programs for a duration of a given period. The interns will get exposure to conservation photography through the guidance of a professional conservation photographer. Through this program, the intern can also build up their photography portfolio and gain project management skills by participating in the different programs and travels.
To be eligible for the program you have to meet the following requirements:
Conservation photography is fairly new and unexplored by Kenyans, particularly the youth. At TonyWild, we recognize the dire need for more Kenyans to be involved in order to scale the impact. Thus the concept of the Young Conservation Photography Workshop (YCPW). The workshops are meant to expose young people between the ages of 18-26 to conservation photography through practical workshops and field work. The main aim being to equip the young adults with photography skills that they can put into use in their efforts to conserve nature and wildlife.
The workshops will take place in specially chosen locations that are predisposed to wildlife and nature to allow for the nature of the activities.
Eligibility for the YCPW
2022 Young Conservation Photography Workshop
We are excited to bring you the prospects of our very first YCP workshop, scheduled to take place in early 2022. Like the rest to follow the main concept will be to bring together a group of 6 young adults with a shared interest in conservation and photography. The workshop will run for 10 days in a specified location, which will be communicated later.
We will be accepting applications to fill the six available slots as from early October- end of November 2021. Decisions will roll out a month after the deadline and will be communicated directly to the applicants.
Current Itinerary for the YCP Workshop
Main Activities planned out for the 2022 YCPW.
These sessions will make up for almost half the time at the program and will focus on areas related to both photography and conservation. They will be dedicated to ensuring that all the participants have a clear understanding of the subjects and their correlation. The workshops will be facilitated by a team from or associated with TonyWild
This makes up one of the in-field activities and will be done so that the attendees can interact with wildlife and photography, firsthand.
This is the other phase of the in-field experience meant to expose the attendees further to nature and wildlife.
For every learning experience, there is a need to have a subsequent opportunity to practice what is learnt or propose a way to improve on the skills acquired: The attendees will therefore be required to come up with a project and run it at the nature area during one of the days of the program. This way they can start to actively prepare and propose ways through which they can impact the general community.
