This project will work with participants to voice their thoughts on what Chronic Lyme Disease means to them in their community and for themselves. All people are welcome to join this project and work with us online through this website if they choose. We will meet with participants on April 17th 2013 for our first workshop. We will then spend the time between our next workshop taking pictures in the field of our issue and brainstorming ways that our project can create positive change for those in the Lyme community. Our second meeting we will be writing brief narratives and sharing our photographs and then deciding the way that we would like to use our images to promote change.
Additional Questions to prompt ideas for photos include: 1. What do I want to convey to other people about what it is like to live with, survive, or otherwise be affected by Lyme disease?
2. What do I want to tell other people about living with lyme disease?
3. How is my life/are our lives different now than before? Better? Worse?
4. Hopes for the future? For you, for the community?
5. What do you think needs to change in order to get better?
If this is all new to you and you would like to be involved, there are a few simple steps to participate:
- Take photos that answer the above questions!
- Print them out for our second workshop or email them to Tasha Van Zandt the group's facilitator
