The topic "The New Social" refers to the important political, social and cultural changes throughout Europe which enable new forms of democratic participation, while they also require a critical analysis of social values. In their photo essays the photographers refer to new lifestyles, manners and means of communication as well as changing working conditions, aspects of mobility and cultural identity.
