April’s Photo Challenge Highlights: #OutAndAbout

On April 1, we launched the first of our monthly Photo Challenge. Participants get 10 prompts by e-mail and share their best photo responses on their favorite social media account. The goal is to share captivating images with meaningful captions in order to promote cross-cultural understanding in a fun, simple way. Today we've rounded up some highlights from our first challenge. We hope many more will share the stories of their host countries by either using these ten #OutAndAbout prompts, or signing up to get a fresh set of prompts on the 1st of each month.
