Joensuu Multicultural Photography Club (hosted by JoMoni) is an amateur photography workshops/club in Joensuu. Here we share our knowledge and skills, learn from others and have fun while learning and practicing photography.
Ideological background:
The goal of our club is to improve and strengthen communication among people from different backgrounds. This special interest group creates an environment where we can learn as much as possible about photography from others. Improving understanding between people from different backgrounds is challenging, but we shall have the goal to take interesting pictures from the life of people from different backgrounds living in North-Karelia, Joensuu.

Either you are just learning or want to learn advanced technique on different levels of photography, you are welcome to join. We have regular meetings every week where each sessions are dedicated to learn more about different topics of photography. Sometimes, we will also ask visitors and some professional photographer to come and give us some presentation on special topic that might interests us.
