About the Organization

At the heart of everything we do is Youth Power. We are a non profit global agency that supports the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. More than ever the world needs young people’s power and leadership to solve its greatest challenges. Every year we train, mentor, nurture and connect thousands of young people to use their youth power and lead change. We formed in 1985 and have been working with young people ever since.

Restless Development India has been working with partners from Government to businesses to support young people and their communities for over 30 years. We currently have a focus on securing brighter futures for young women and girls.

About the Event

Restless Development is looking for 12 young photographers to join the movement to end violence against children – positively disrupting the point of view on an issue affecting half the world’s girls and boys.

When world leaders meet in Colombia this November for the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, the perspectives of young people need to be central to the conversation. Restless Development will be partnering with Conference co-hosts the World Health Organization, government of Colombia, government of Sweden, UNICEF and UN Special Representative on ending violence, to connect Ministers with young people’s realities.

Through ‘Safe’ – a high-profile immersive photo exhibition – we will tell the story of what feeling safe means to young people around the world.

We are launching a call to find 12 young creatives (aged 18-24), from all regions of the world, who will each produce a photo-essay telling the story of what “safe” feels like to them and/or other children and young people in their community.

Of the photographs captured by each creative, one striking ‘hero’ image will be featured in the final exhibition, taking centre stage at the historic Ministerial, with the full photo-essay published online through a global media outlet.

If you are one of the 12 young people selected to capture your story, you can expect:

• A stipend of $1250 as a contribution to your time and costs to be involved in this project.
• Expert training, coaching and one-to-one support throughout the project.
• One of your images to be featured in the global Ministerial Conference in November.
• Your final photo-essay will be published online and may feature in national or global publications.
