n collaboration with our partner, the Nobel Peace Center, National Geographic is traveling for the first time ever an exhibition of photographs and writings produced by National Geographic Photo Camp students in urope. National Geographic photographers MARCUS BLEASDALE, ROBIN HAMMOND, LYNN JOHNSON, PETE MULLER, and ANDREA BRUCE mentored students in Athens, Greece, and three Norwegian cities during the Summer of 01 . The refugee youth who participated had journeyed to their new homes from Syria, Afghanistan, ran, Somalia, Sudan, and ritrea, among other nations. The exhibition will highlight the stories of students, who are a blend of refugee and host country youth in Norway and Greece. The exhibition is designed to weave a narrative of the experiences of displaced youth, as well as their connection to the Norwegian and Greek students who participated alongside them. Their writings express optimism, hope, and the shared dreams of young people around the world. This exhibition is co-curated by National Geographic and the Nobel Peace Center.
