Call for Creative Photography

ICVolunteers, an international non-profit organization specialized in the field of communications, in particular languages, communication technologies and conference support, invites photographers to share their view and perspective to the topic:

“Diverse Perspectives on the Environment, Citizenship and Volunteering”

ICVolunteers considers sustainable development and its ecological dimension a powerful engine for development and well being for all. Climate change is a real threat. It is time to act.

We want to emphasize, through our projects, how much civil society can contribute to good citizenship through volunteer activities and keen knowledge of environmental issues.

We wish to demonstrate that inaction is no longer a valid option. We want more awareness among young people on environmental issues. At debates and cultural events, we will review the concerns of tomorrow, but right now, we need to know and disseminate best practices for small, daily ecological gestures that can have a large impact.

As part of the celebrations of its tenth anniversary, ICVolunteers is launching a call for creative photography on the theme: Diverse Perspectives on the Environment, Citizenship and Volunteering.
