Creativity, as a 21st-century skill, has gained more interest these past years and has become one of the key competencies to be implemented in classrooms. Creativity is important to students because it allows them to engage in divergent thinking in a subjective manner. Since it is a subjective form of thinking, it is important to a couple of critical thinking with creative thinking to prepare students for life as they go on to become independent individuals who contribute to society. However, some studies highlight teachers’ difficulties to integrate it in a classroom context. For instance, introducing creativity in overloaded school curricula may be a hindrance to developing it. The students of this generation are not being taught how to creatively think in the schools, which is resulting in a fall of creative communication in the workplace. Creative thinking contributes to the invention of new ideas, perspectives, concepts, principles, and products in our society. If creativity is to be exemplified later in life by adults, it must be fostered in children first. The aim of this project is to use photography as an integral tool to encourage creativity in different fields such as mathematics, science, langıuage, art, and history. The pupils will learn how to take and process pictures using modern tools and, also, promote human values with the help of photography. Developing a wide range of skills and personal qualities represents our second target, such as close attention to details, constructive criticism, self-instructive spirit, communicative skills, the ability to analyze and synthesize a problem, originality, creativity. The project, based on using photography to teach and to learn, promotes the creation of a wide range of original and creative products that will be made available publically online.
