In a delightful scene at Garirako Park this weekend, children armed with smartphones and cameras were busy capturing memories, taking selfies, and sharing laughter with friends and family. The event, organized as part of a weekend recreational program, encouraged kids to explore creativity while documenting fun moments in their own unique way.
Groups of children were seen posing with colorful decorations, playground equipment, and even their pets, trying out different angles, smiles, and playful expressions. Many parents joined in, helping their little ones frame the perfect shot or striking poses alongside them. The cheerful atmosphere reflected the joy of a generation growing up in the digital age, where photography is a way to express personality and create memories.
Event organizers highlighted the importance of teaching children safe and responsible smartphone use during such activities. “It’s wonderful to see children enjoying themselves while learning how to use technology responsibly,” said one coordinator. “Selfies are not just about pictures—they help kids develop confidence and creativity.”
Some children even turned their selfie-taking into mini-projects, creating collages, short videos, and fun photo stories to share with friends. Local photographers offered quick workshops, teaching basic tips on lighting, framing, and capturing candid moments, which the children eagerly applied.
By the end of the day, dozens of colorful selfies had been captured, each reflecting the excitement, energy, and playful spirit of the participants. Parents appreciated the event as a safe, enjoyable way for their children to engage with technology creatively, while also bonding with peers.
The selfie event in Garirako proved that modern children can balance fun, learning, and technology, all while creating memories they will cherish for years.
