The VII Foundation’s mission is to transform visual journalism by empowering new voices and creating stories that advocate change.

In a world where beliefs and actions are increasingly out-of-sync with facts and realities, transforming visual journalism is an urgent task.

Our work begins with the educational programs of the VII Academy, at its heart involves the production of long-form projects and documentary films, and includes VII Insider, our free online platform for public debate and discussion of the issues central to visual journalism.

With the support of our partners, we are striving to create a broader picture of the world that fosters a more democratized global conversation to challenge established gatekeepers and disturb conventional narratives.
