Introducing the GTC Networks.

Good teaching needs good networks and good networks need good teachers.

The GTC Networks provide support by linking teachers nationally and putting them in touch with the latest research and evidence. They let teachers have a voice at national debates on changes to education.

Eight Ways to Change The World: a Panos exhibition on the UN Millennium Development Goals

The ‘Eight Ways to Change The World: photographic exhibition on the Millennium Goals’ was held at the Oxo Tower in London, hosted by Panos Pictures, in September 2005.

Photographs of children and adults from the Global South illustrated the UN Millennium Goals through powerful visual imagery juxtaposed against hard hitting commentary from photographers. The photographs’ ability to raise questions about culture, globalisation and inequality have huge scope as teaching aids across the curriculum.

Key note presentations

Adrian Evans, Director of Panos Pictures, said:

'Let us keep poverty and development at the top of the political agenda so that rich countries will fulfil their promise to increase aid, cancel debt and make fair trade.'

Zed Nelson, photographer of the Urban Health and Nutrition Project in Dhaka, Bangladesh, said:

'If the people in these photographs lived in our street, we would share our food with them.'

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Millennium Project and Special Adviser to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, said:

'The Millennium Goals will be achieved when we truly understand our common fate on this planet.'

The Millennium Goals

The context of the photographic exhibition was the UN Millennium Goals to challenge extreme poverty, lack of basic infrastructure, lack of basic education and access to health care.
