About Where Cultures Come Together
Youmanity is a charity registered in England and Wales, based in London. We work hard to celebrate equality, support social inclusion and promote human rights by delivering cultural projects throughout the year.
Now in its 10th year, our annual Photography Award is designed to raise awareness of pressing social issues. Photographers from all over the world tell important human stories by sending us their works. We select the most outstanding photographs to showcase in exhibitions on themes ranging from human trafficking, gender discrimination, and age discrimination to disability.
For ten years we have produced powerful and positive educational short films for a wide audience. Notable amongst them was ‘The Windrush Generation’ which traces the arrival of the Afro-Caribbean community in the UK. It was a great celebration of the importance of social inclusion.
With education at the forefront, Youmanity champions 2Smile, a pioneering project to develop a student-centred teaching approach for youths at risk of abandoning education.
To date our projects have received the patronage of Amnesty International, the European Commission, the British Council, the Italian Consulate General, the Metropolitan Police and the Royal Photographic Society. Youmanity is run entirely by volunteers.
