*Photo Exhibition: Eight Ways to Change the World - bringing the Millennium Development Goals to Life [7-18 September 2005]

Eight newly commissioned powerful and engaging photographic essays bring to life the eight Millennium Development Goals, set by the UN in 2000. These stunning exhibits and an interactive installation tackling each of these global milestones, present a richer and more human side of the poverty debate and challenge all of us to do one thing to 'change the world'. Each of the eight essays is 'sponsored' by an overseas charity, including ActionAid, Concern, VSO and Wateraid. The show is presented by Panos Pictures, the UK's only independent photo agency specialising in documentary photography of social and global issues.
