The Contrast Project works with youth in using digital photography and video as tools for expression and advocacy. The project started in the summer of 2006 with photography trainings with two youth groups in the Bethlehem area of the Palestinian Territories. In the summer of 2007, the Contrast Project partnered with Voices Beyond Walls (VBW) to coordinate video and photography workshops with youth from five refugee camps throughout the West Bank.

In 2008, the Contrast Project and VBW partnered with the Intel Computer Clubhouse in Ramallah to offer a spring Training of Trainers (TOT) to develop youth media experts to lead the summer workshops. We are now working to further expand the workshops in the summer of 2009, launch a new summer media institute for trainers, and develop plans for a community media center in East Jerusalem. We are also developing new links with youth in the Washington, DC, and Boston areas.
