香港與來自95個國家924個城市的3426位攝影師，參與全球最大型的街頭攝影活動「24小時項目」。
24 小時項目將來自世界各個城市的新進攝影師、有抱負的攝影記者和視覺敘事者聯繫起來，通過提高對全球問題的認識和賦予非政府組織權力來記錄人文活動並做出改變。
今年，它支持兒童權利，選擇了印度的非政府組織 Responsible Charity 作為合作夥伴。通過全球眾籌活動，籌集的所有資金都將分配給他們，為生活在貧民窟社區的兒童提供的進取式教育計劃。
我們意識到世界各地的兒童生活在不平等的條件下。聯合國教科文組織預測，除非採取緊急措施，否則將有1200萬小學適齡兒童永遠無法踏入學校。鑑於這些數字，很難確保全民享有包容性的優質教育，這是聯合國可持續發展目標之一。
每位參與者遵循24小時項目指引，在24小時內每一小時在社交媒體分享一張照片。影像、主題和內容成為一個逐小時向世界展示瘋傳式的實時景象。所有照片都會通過社交媒體渠道實時看到，最後成為全球展覽的一部分。
Hong Kong is part of 3,426 photographers from 924 cities in 95 countries who join the “24 Hour Project” – the largest street photography event worldwide.
24 Hour Project connects emerging photographers, aspiring photojournalist and visual storytellers from every city of the world to document humanity and make a difference by raising awareness about global issues and empowering NGOs. This year, it supports Responsible Charity, a NGO in India for children’s rights. All funds raised via a global crowdfunding campaign will be allocated towards their progressive education programs for children living in slum communities.
We are aware that children all over the world live in conditions of inequality. The United Nations Organization, UNESCO, predicts that unless urgent measures are taken 12 million primary school age children will never set foot in a school. In view of such figures, it will be difficult to ensure inclusive quality education for all, one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Each participant shares to social media one photo every hour for the 24 hours following 24HourProject guidelines. The images, theme and content become a viral live view to the world hour by hour. All photos are seen live through social media channels and later become part of travel exhibitions.
