EDDW17 Photo Contest - Together for Inclusion

The European Union Task Group of the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) has launched a photo contest in the framework of European Disability and Development Week 2017 (EDDW17).

The objective of the EDDW photo contest is to change attitudinal barriers towards persons with disabilities. Historically, persons with disabilities have been perceived as subjects instead as active agents. The photo contest aims to highlight challenges for persons with disabilities in a positive perspective, based on human rights based approach. Photos submitted to this contest should reflect the idea of inclusion in a positive light. All submitted photos must be originals taken by the submitting photographer. The photographer submitting the picture should also write a brief statement as to why s/he believes this photograph reflects EDDW’s motto “Together for Inclusion.”
