Abstract

This article discusses a project that used the research, action and participation methodology known as photovoice with a group of Ecuadorian immigrants living in Madrid. This methodology involves the participants being asked to take photographs of their community and subsequently engaging in a critical analysis of them. This process enables the communities to obtain insight into how they conceptualise themselves and their circumstances, in order to modify possible weak points and contribute to community development. Similarly, the authors draw from their practical experience in the application of the photovoice methodology to offer insight into the field of social work intervention.
