Participate in Youth Photo contest: Take a shot at your future (Fully funded to Paris)



What do you think the future of work will look like and what do you see yourself doing? 
Show us your aspirations!
 


On the occasion of the International Youth Day 2017, the EU and OECD Development Centre, as part of the Youth Inclusion project, invites you to share your views and aspirations regarding the future of work through a powerful photo!

Young people have aspirations and dreams. Only the sky should be the limit to their optimism and creativity. However the world is changing fast, with new technologies affecting the way we work and the future is increasingly fuzzy for today’s young generation. How is the future of work going to evolve and what dreams and aspirations can young people have in this uncertain future?
Aspirations constitute an important driver for a young person’s career and life choices. They shape how young people think and feel about themselves, their lives, and their communities and influence their actions in the face of challenges and opportunities. Thus, meeting youth aspirations is an important aspect of social cohesion and increasingly a subject of interest among policymakers as they endeavor to design policies adapted for young people.
The Youth Photo Contest: Take a shot at your future is calling for young photographers to submit photos that represent youth aspirations and the future of work as they see it. The objective of the contest is to capture the diversity of youth aspirations from all over the world and influence the policy debate to improve the future of work for youth and ensure inclusive policies.

Who can participate?
Young people, 18-30 years old, from any country can participate. 

How to proceed?
