WASINI YOUTH NATURE CLUB

A G E N D A

Besides our ongoing projects which are listed further below, we had an exciting workshop in our calendar.

19.01.- 24.01.2016

Photographic Workshop with professional photographer DANIEL GASTALDI born in Argentina.

Daniel, a professional documentary photographer, explored with the young Club members Wasini’s environment and offered them the chance to get in touch with this artists’ tool to capture life. It was a passionate and most creative time for the professional photographer and his pupils alike, and the result of their excursions will be displayed here soon!
