Self Report:-
In this program I was a participant. I was assigned in groups for social experiments and photography sessions. As a participant, we need to create a scene to make a social experiment. For the photography session , Every session we were taught by group about the rule of photography. As what I gained from the program is the teamwork and communication skills is important especially in grouping to avoid miscommunication. The advantages that I get from this program is I was able to use the photography skills outside the program. On the other hand, my communication skills get better as me and my group communicate with a lots of strangers. Challenge that I face during this program is a lots of strangers do not want to gives coorperation during our social experiment. However, we manage to find a lots of people are kind heart to communicate with us. For self improvement , I hope that there is a courage in me to face stangers without doubt.
