What You’ll Learn
Created especially for those working in humanitarian, social, or cultural communication, our labs cover the ethical, creative, and technical aspects of storytelling — always adapted to your resources, skills, and goals.
Participants gain hands-on tools to build narrative projects that are honest, impactful, and purpose-driven — even with limited budgets and minimal equipment. Each course is built around the idea of creating something tangible: a finished publication or public-facing output, ready to be shared with the right audience.
No templates. No generic lessons. Just the guidance you need to shape your story and make it matter.
Course Format and Duration
Courses typically last 7 to 10 days, with over 50 hours of guided sessions, feedback, and creative work. They can be delivered:
- Online (live + asynchronous)
- On-site at Ayzoh!’s home base in Rimini
- At partner locations in Italy (Tuscany, Aosta Valley, Apulia)
- Or directly within your organization or project location, anywhere in the world
For Individuals and Organizations
Each course is tailored to your real needs. You can choose to focus on project development, storytelling ethics, editing and publishing, or combine all of the above — culminating in a final product that your team or organization can actually use and distribute. This is not just training. It’s production.
Tech-Agnostic, Purpose-Focused
We believe storytelling should be driven by ideas — not by gear. That’s why our instructors work with whatever tools you have: from smartphones to professional cameras, from open-source platforms to advanced design suites.
High-end tools are welcome, but technical limitations will never stop us from helping you create a complete, professional-quality story.
Program Overview
Our courses are modular and adaptable. Here’s a typical structure:
1. Story Design & Project Planning. Learn how to shape a narrative project that is focused, respectful, and purposeful. Topics include:
- Research and access to sources
- Editorial focus: telling only what matters
- Audience engagement and communication goals
- Respect and trust-building with subjects and communities
- Narrative ethics and ego awareness
2. Ethics & Responsibility in Social Storytelling. We dive deep into the ethical challenges of working with vulnerable individuals and communities — and how to avoid the stereotypes often reinforced by mainstream media
3. Photography & Fieldwork. Participants create original visual content, guided by Ayzoh! instructors. The focus is on relevance, not just aesthetics.
4. Image Editing. Together, we select and refine the images that best serve the story — not necessarily the most “beautiful,” but the most meaningful.
5. Post-Production. Participants learn basic editing workflows (primarily using Adobe Lightroom) with a strong emphasis on ethical, documentary-grade image preparation.
6. Publication Design. We assemble the visual and written content into a coherent editorial product: printed book, digital magazine, web format, or multimedia. The choice depends on your project’s goals, audience, and distribution plans.
7. Distribution Strategies. We help you explore platforms — free or paid, mainstream or niche — where your project can reach its intended audience and have real impact.
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
We don’t believe in “content.” We believe in stories with substance. If you’re looking to build a project that’s beautiful, responsible, and aligned with your values, our online courses offer a rare combination of creative freedom and editorial discipline.
