Melanie Burford is speaking at NCE Media Show & Tell in Bergen, Norway about coordinating National Geographic Photo Camp Norway, a series of three Photo Camp workshops for both migrant and Norwegian youth in Bergen, Trondheim and Oslo in the summer and fall of 2017. National Geographic Photo Camp is partnering with photographers Melanie Burford and Marcus Bleasdale, as well as the Norwegian Red Cross, Wilstar and the Nobel Peace Center.

The mission is to encourage young people to tell their own stories, and to use the power of photography to provide youth perspectives to a wide audience. This project is an opportunity not only to empower youth and to encourage tolerance and understanding, but also to share these students’ stories with the world.
