This exhibition will showcase photographic entries to Shoot Nations from young people around the world that capture their views on the three topics used for the competition in 07, 08 and 09, all important to youth and the UN development agenda: Governance, Climate Change and Gender. The photos will provide a platform to initiate further dialogue and understanding around these topics in celebration of the UN’s International Year of Youth theme of ‘Dialogue and Mutual Understanding’,
For more information on the International Year of Youth visit http://social.un.org/youthyear or join the Facebook Page for regular updates.
The photos will be presented alongside the statements and questions they are responding to and visitors to the exhibit will be encouraged to add their own voice to the dialogue by interacting with the key themes themselves through participatory multimedia activities.
