MoSA Encourages Persons with Disabilities to Create Arts Through Photography and Design Training
JAMBI (August 29th,
2024) - Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) in collaboration with Tata Rupa
Team held design, photography, and painting training at the Alyatama Center in
Jambi. This activity was a follow-up to the meeting between the Minister of
Social Affairs and the children at the Alyatama Center in Jambi that took place
last week on Wednesday, August 21st, 2024.
The training held over two days
(August 29th – 30th) was attended by 30 participants,
consisting of students with hearing and speech disabilities and the children of
residential beneficiaries. During the event, participants have opportunities to learn various art and design skills that could enhance their
creativity. Starting from photography techniques using a smartphone camera, and Canva applications, to painting on canvas.
The Head of the Alyatama Center
in Jambi, Hendra Permana, in his speech, invited participants and staff to take
part in the training. "I am pleased that this training is taking place.
Please follow along. Those who are accompanying, don't just watch, join in the
learning too. Share your knowledge, because our beneficiaries won’t stay the
same, there will be something new later," Hendra stated as he
opened the event.
During the session, the
participants appeared enthusiastic, asking questions and trying out various
practices. This has garnered praise from one of the photography instructors,
Ilham Khairuddin. "This is the first time I teach persons with hearing and
speech disabilities. It turns out they are quite enthusiastic. They follow the
material well. I even saw that some of the photography results were good, even
though they were taken with a phone," Ilham expressed.
Through this training, it is
hoped that the children at the Alyatama Center in Jambi can acquire new skills
that will be beneficial for their future, while also fostering a sense of
confidence in expressing themselves through art and design.
