WACC - World Association for Christian Communication

WACC promotes communication for social change. It believes that communication is a basic human right that defines people’s common humanity, strengthens cultures, enables participation, creates community and challenges tyranny and oppression. WACC’s key concerns are media diversity, equal and affordable access to communication and knowledge, media and gender justice, and the relationship between communication and power.

WACC Annual Photographic Competition Launched

The WACC Photographic Competition 2009 has been launched. The competition, in its sixth year, is being run on Flickr  for the fourth time! This year’s theme of the competition is “portraying gender”.  Photographers are invited to submit photos that challenge conventional understandings of ‘femininity’ and ‘masculinity’; photos that portray women or men in ways that offer new perceptions about their roles and responsibilities; Photos that break the mould of the male-female ‘divide’.
