23 Mar New Monthly Photo Challenge to Promote Cross-Cultural Understanding

Do you have an Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook account? Have you ever considered the impact you could make by being more intentional on social media?

Blogging is not the only way to help people back home learn about your host culture. Digital story-telling and cross-cultural education can be just as effective when done well on social media.

That’s why we’re launching a monthly Photo Challenge.

To take part in the Photo Challenge, just sign up and you’ll get themed photo prompts on the first of every month. You can participate for any length of time – from one month up to a full year.

You’ll get 10 one-word prompts in the e-mail, all related to an over-arching theme. (For example: if the theme is “Out and About” and the first prompt is “Light,” you could share a photo of anything from a cool lamp post on your street to your favorite sunrise shot.)

You have a month to publish your ten photo responses in the order that they’re listed, on the social media platform of your choice. Tag us at @bloggingabroad and use the hashtag #BAphotochallenge. Be sure to give context with a nice caption for each post, too.

We’ll re-share the best images!

For those of you who are also blogging, we challenge you to get all of your photos up in the first half of the month, then use the second half of the month to compile them all together in a cohesive blog post.

Learn more on our Photo Challenge page, and sign up by March 30 to get the first set of prompts on April 1!
