    These are the key elements of Uganda – Land of Hope, an exhibit that is part of the campaign Food Right Now, supported by the European Commission, with the goal to raise citizens’ awareness about the issues of right to food, food security and equal access to resources. Thus Cesvi, together with its network partners in Alliance2015, launched a video and photo-graphic contest in 2015 directed at the youth of five countries: Italy, Ireland, Germany, France and Czech Republic. The result? Tens of young people challenged themselves with a camera and a video camera to talk about the problem of world hunger. The best were awarded the opportunity to go to Uganda, where they experienced firsthand the reality of hunger in its multidimensional ways, as well as possible solutions. In this exhibit, the fresh approach of these young winners is combined with the experience of two professionals who accompanied them on this trip. Through the filming by Giampaolo Musumeci, the photographs by Alberto Prina and the images of these budding photographers and videographers, every one of us has the chance to experience the daily challenges in a fertile land that is defiantly rising up from the scars of a 20-year-long civil war.
