Participating Countries

Extremadura joins in 2009 to this International Photo of Monuments Experience. Professional students from Extremadura High School offer us their perspective of our cities and towns, our material possesions and our spiritual values, through their cameras.
The local Institution of Education wants this Experience to be a union of arts and traditions for our students, as well as a learning process for them. We also hope that the IHPE promotes the exchange of experiences, of visual sensations, from all over the world. I also have a desire for us: being able to admire our enviroment from this special point of view that only these young artists can show us. In this way, teachers that have guided them have lot to say.
There is no doubt that their advices have made them grow up from a technical point of view, but also in a personal way. Our recognition is for them, too. Now it is time to see the results.
