Youth lens on the Silk road: best photos from the international Silk roads Photo Contest - 2nd Edition

This publication is the outcome of the second edition of the international photo contest ‘Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads’, organized by UNESCO within the framework of its Silk Roads, and Management of Social Transformation (MOST) programmes.

For this second edition, participants were invited to submit photographs that best capture the elements of the shared heritage of the Silk Roads through one or more of the three themes of ‘Gastronomy and Food Production’, ‘Music and Dance’ and ‘Traditional Sports and Games’.This initiative provides an excellent opportunity for young men and women from all over the world to visually capture their understanding and impressions of the shared heritage of the Silk Roads through the lens of their camera.
