  This is my guest blog for Photovoice about working with secondary school students in Tanzania to express their own views about development and urbanisation through photography.
  Thank you to everyone who came, especially Paul Hill and Maria Falconer who gave invaluable advice on hanging the exhibition.
  ​I'm now making a learning resource about urbanisation from this work, to be used in secondary schools.
  I've just returned from another trip to Tanzania with PiXL International. This organisation's work with secondary school head teachers is really making a difference to the life chances of students leaving school.
  Returning each year it has also been fascinating to see the changes that development and urbanisation have brought to the Rukwa region.
  I'm very pleased to be starting a portrait project with this organisation for their fascinating oral histories work http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/about/latest-research/oral-history-project. I'm looking forward to meeting the interviewers next week.
