The Asia-Europe Forum for Young Photographers emphasizes the significance of photography as a medium of communication that reflects the constant changing society. It raises and articulates issues to encourage cultural dialogue and exchange in the field of photography. Set up in 2002, the Forum gathers up to twenty-five young photographers (final year students or young professionals) to follow presentations by experienced photographers, photography editors and managers as well as participate in discussions and workshops. The objectives of this programme are to: - develop professional networks of young photographers
- provide a platform for discussion on the professional commonalties and differences present in the field
- examine and discuss the aspects of creation, communication and promotion of photography
- develop an enhanced understanding of photography in order to achieve excellence and come to new esthetic approaches
- launch new formats of virtual and actual collaboration
- exchange best practices on photography and
- facilitate information on the Asian and European photography scene.
