The modules will each come with guidance and delivery notes, lesson plans, student activities and worksheets, and will be implemented this year in seven languages, including Arabic, English, Hindi, Mandarin, French and Spanish.
The first lessons have been piloted in the UAE , India, Pakistan, Senegal, the UK, Argentina and the Philippines and will be rolled out from June across the rest of DP World's network in over six continents.
'Photographs on Syrian refugees convey peoples' courage'
Speaking in particular on the Syrian Migrant crisis and how photographers bear witness and spread awareness, Reuters Bureau Chief William Maclean said that "a photograph is as powerful an imagery as you can get."
#ArabMediaForum: Photojournalism thriving, say leading photographers"A photograph builds a bridge between the subject and the person looking at it. A print story at the end of the day is just words on a page. It's the photograph people look for to tell the complete story," he added.
