A group of 12 students from Vanuatu’s Lini Memorial College have joined National Geographic’s Photo Camp, gaining hands-on storytelling experience through photography and ocean conservation.
Photo Camp has spent more than two decades empowering young people across the world to tell their stories through photography. Recently, the team travelled to Laone Village on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu, for a five-day workshop that connected students from Lini College with the global Pristine Seas expedition.
During the camp, students photographed coral reefs, interviewed elders, and captured scenes from everyday village life. They also wrote reflections on how their ancestors’ conservation practices have shaped today’s marine protection areas.
