Plakat_unicefThe Festival will be officially closed on Monday, January 30, 2017 with a photo exhibition “Justice for every child” at the Sarajevo Cathedral square, starting from 12PM. The exhibition is organized in cooperation with UNICEF Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The authors of the exhibited photographs are residents of institutions for children in conflict with the law in 2016. Photographs are the result of workshops organized within the UNICEF‘s project “Justice for Children” supported by the Government of Switzerland and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). Association Urban has conducted photographic workshops for children and older juveniles in institutions in Banja Luka and Tuzla from June to September 2016. The workshops are organised in order to provide the support to services in these institutions as well as to empower individual work with children who are serving a sentence. The workshops were aimed to provide an opportunity for children to express themselves photographically and so that they can learn photographic techniques and use it in their future.

This will mark the official ending of this year’s Festival program.
