About UNICEF
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation for children, promoting the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere. See www.unicef.org.uk
About Positive View
The Positive View philosophy is innovative well beyond its commitment to showcasing the very highest calibre of work created in the medium of photography through its international exhibition programme. More importantly, we know that a structured personal development programme using photography can transform the lives of the most disadvantaged young people – empowering them to acquire new skills whilst developing self-confidence and self-belief. The Positive View Education Programme is unique in supporting young people in this way – creating positive futures for young people, especially those living on London’s most deprived inner city estates.
