Participants of World Press Photo's education program come from almost every corner of the world and this is reflected in our galleries this edition.

There are striking images from South Africa, where - as almost everyone on earth now knows - the FIFA World Cup 2010 has been taking place.

But our pictures are not of sporting excellence but the poverty in which so many South Africans still struggle to survive, within striking distance of shiny new stadiums.

Terrible injuries caused by cluster bombs abandoned in Lebanon following the war there four years ago are the subject of one gallery. In the United States, the way obese people argue for acceptance by the rest of society is featured in another.

In Turkey, there are images of an ancient community whose way of life is said to be under threat from much-delayed plans for a new dam and, from Greece, evidence of how an area of Athens is undergoing a different kind of change as society evolves from industry to consumerism.

As usual, Masterclass features a role model amongst those who have attended a World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass. And Close Up looks at someone who developed photojournalism from its earliest days in one African country.

Picture Power again highlights images which have accompanied big stories in various publications and photo editors explain why they stood out.
