Through our Develop programs, the World Press Photo Foundation encourages diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives. We showcase those stories to a worldwide audience, educate the profession and the public on their making, and encourage debate on their meaning.
The Develop programs include the 6x6 Global Talent Program, the African Photojournalism Database, the Joop Swart Masterclass, the Solutions Visual Journalism Initiative, and the Tim Hetherington Fellowship.
The African Photojournalism Database (APJD) is a directory of more than 500 emerging and professional African visual storytellers, created to help African photographers better connect to the international media economy.
The World Press Photo Foundation’s best known educational program is for emerging and early-career image makers in the field of documentary photography, visual journalism, and visual storytelling.
