With the main aim of the O’visor project being to create EU relationships forward in founding and recognizing cross-border volunteerism, we based the theme of our Photo Exhibition on the aforementioned aim. Each partner organization had open submissions for photos and illustrations related to the theme of the solidarity of volunteers in crisis situations. We narrowed down the photo submissions to a select 80 photos, the photos which represented the theme of the exhibit the most.

As on Saturday was just the first day of the Photo Exhibit, we only prepared half of the selected photos for showing (40). Prior to the Photo Exhibition which took place from 15-18h, all of the members from each partner organization met at 10:30h where we reviewed our agenda for the day, went over dissemination protocols, and discussed our upcoming events. Today’s Photo Exhibition venue was Fondacija Izvor Nade (Foundation Source of Hope), an NGO with the aim of improving educational, cultural, spiritual and traditional values of pupils, students and other citizens, and of promoting good in all segments of society.

We had our great Director Ismail Šehić introduce BRAVO and the O’visor project. Following the introductions, we had special guest speakers share stories about the work they do in their daily lives. Delila Bajrić from Fondacija Izvor Nade shared with us information about the foundation and the great work they do. We had Arnej Mirsilić, a Bosnian photographer and videographer, share his experiences about why he got into photography and the importance of it. Next we had two speakers from Gorska Služba Spašavanja (Mountain Rescue Service) talk about the work they do when it comes to saving people’s lives in crisis situations. Lastly, we had border police officer Mirela Mujović talk about the International Police Association and the work they do.

Following the guest speakers, Ezana, the O’visor Project Coordinator,  led everyone upstairs to the Photo Exhibition where we showcased 40 of the 80 selected photos. We had multiple people from Bosnia who submitted photos attend the Photo Exhibit themselves which was amazing to see! We are very pleased with the outcome!
