Spring is in the air. The sun is emerging, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It’s tempting to spend a few extra minutes taking it all in, as you go for your daily walk. As the scent of pollen fills the air and you pack your winter jacket firmly away, can you feel the spring clean itch looming? 

There are few rites of spring more satisfying than giving your home or treasured possessions a much needed deep clean, however, it's only once the hard graft is over when the results can be fully savoured. As well as your home, your camera and video equipment may also be crying out for a much needed clean. And let’s not forget your printer. 

Whether you are an amateur, enthusiast or professional photographer or filmmaker, regardless of how careful you are, germs, dust, debris and wear is inevitable and will find its way to your equipment. To keep your imaging equipment in peak performance, we wanted to provide you with some helpful tips for disinfecting and cleaning your Canon equipment.

UN SDG Goal 5: Of particular concern for a group of young people about to enter the job market was gender inequality surrounding recruitment and the employment process. To change the situation, they first wanted to raise the profile of the problem. 

UN SDG Goal 12: Recycling was chosen as a problem that relates most commonly to their local communities and their daily lives. The participants focusing on recycling wanted to raise and show their concern over the rising cost of waste management and about the lack of information available about the difficulties in what and how to recycle different plastics. 

One of Poland’s leading CSR focused organisations, the Responsible Business Forum, recently recognised the benefits of this project, listing the Young People Programme as one of the 51 most significant business education initiatives in the country.

Although eight hours is far from enough to learn how to create professional material, but just enough time to give an insight to the thoughts of young people and the issues they experience in their own environment through their eyes. Moreover, it reveals what touches and moves them. When you’re young, having your voice heard provides an inspirational purpose. With a little support from professionals, their compassion for the world and how they see it can be turned into a visual expression. After all, this is the generation that will be looking after our planet tomorrow.
