As the United Nations prepares to commemorate its 80th anniversary in 2025, a groundbreaking initiative is amplifying the voices of young storytellers worldwide. The One Home: Shared Future Visual Storytelling Initiative, launched by CGTN in collaboration with global partners, invites youth to capture their hopes and challenges for humanity through photography and multimedia.
The first collection of submissions reveals a tapestry of perspectives—from bustling urban landscapes in Southeast Asia to serene rural communities in Africa. One participant from Indonesia documented climate resilience efforts in coastal villages, while a creator from Kenya highlighted cross-generational dialogues on sustainable development. These visual narratives aim to bridge cultural divides and spark actionable dialogue ahead of the UN@80 milestone.
Academics note the project’s potential to inform policy frameworks, while business leaders see it as a barometer of emerging market priorities. For diaspora communities, the images offer a visceral connection to grassroots movements across Asia and beyond.
