Journeys to School is a photographic investigation on how schoolchildren worldwide get to school. It shows the reality of the daily obstacles some children encounter in their quest for an education. They cross drought-affected land on horseback in Brazil, negotiate rivers and canyons in rural Mexico, risk mines in Libya, and more. The journeys depicted in this exhibit are a strong argument for keeping education at the top of the international development agenda in the years ahead.

Les Chemins de l¡¯Ecole est un reportage photo qui raconte comment les enfants se rendent ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦cole ¨¤ travers le monde et les obstacles que beaucoup d¡¯entre eux doivent surmonter au quotidien. Certains ¨¦l¨¨ves traversent ¨¤ dos de cheval des terres du Br¨¦sil affect¨¦es par la s¨¦cheresse, d¡¯autres affrontent des cours d¡¯eau et des canyons dans des zones rurales du Mexique, d¡¯autres marchent sur des terrains min¨¦s en Libye. Ces trajets confirment la n¨¦cessit¨¦ de garder l¡¯¨¦ducation au premier rang de l¡¯agenda internationale du d¨¦veloppement dans les ann¨¦es ¨¤ venir.
