Photohike: Renewing team energy through art and nature

The programme opens with an introductory phase that gently brings participants into the context and the theme of the photographic project. A few simple cues are enough to invite a change of gaze—slowing down, recognising meaningful readings and using smartphones with greater intention.

From there, the hike begins. Moving along an accessible route, the group alternates walking with pauses dedicated to observation and discussion. Working in small teams, participants decide what they want to express visually and how to give coherence to their story. Here, photography works quietly in the background, helping transform individual impressions into a common direction.

As the activity progresses, each team develops its own photographic narrative. Choices are made together: which details deserve attention, which frame captures the essence of the moment, and so on. This process encourages creativity, careful listening, and synthesis, strengthening a sense of belonging.

At the end of the stroll, teams select the images that best represent their work. These photographs are presented and discussed, creating a moment of reflection where the group identifies what has been built together—often more clearly than expected.

The closing stage brings the overall journey into focus. The images remain as a tangible record of the path taken, capturing not only places and details, but also the evolution of dialogue, reciprocity, and collaboration along the way.
