We want to take the four dimensions of empowerment: spiritual, political, social, and economic, and learn what it means to be strengthened, both as individuals and as communities. We want to know how an individual and a community develop "confidence in their own capacities." This will be accomplished through a discussion of empowerment, theory, through the use of visual media as an empowerment tool, and through selected case studies.
