Stories of Hope - Photography Open Call

Are you an EU citizen living in the UK, with a story to tell? Do you have a passion for photography?

We invite you to participate in "Stories of Hope", a photography project that aims to share a glimpse into our journeys, identity, and aspirations for our life in the UK.

Join us in exploring and showcasing personal stories on the themes of identity, belonging, and aspiration using photographs from our lives which symbolise these concepts.

Submit your entry

Share stories

The photos should be accompanied by a text or a piece of poetry of up to 250 words, delving into the meaning behind the photo, how it reflects your personal journey as an EU citizen in the UK so far, and your aspirations for the future.

"Stories of Hope" provides a platform for EU citizens living in the UK to express ourselves creatively and share our unique narratives. Through photography and storytelling, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, and solidarity within our diverse community.

You can get started by taking inspiration from the Stories for Change project which kickstarted this open call.
