PROMOTION OF A COMIC BOOK “NIRA” AND WORKSHOP FOR YOUTH IN ŽIVINICE

On October 28, 2015, TPO Foundation has implemented a workshop for young people from the Gymnasium Zivinice, within the project “Initiative for Creative Dialogue and Education” (ICDE). Students and a school library received the comic book “Nira”, in which a young and talented activist Nira deals with various problems. The lecturer Elvira Barucija talked with the students about socially engaged art and civic rights and duties of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Students analyzed one of

the problems presented in a comic book and tried to find a solution for that problem.In the comic book “Nira”, there are various situations where citizens’ basic human rights are endangered plus ways to react when their rights are endangered. TPO Foundation is trying to familiarize students with human rights and socially engaged art, as an art form that can help us verbalize issues and difficulties of our society, and promote positive examples from our community.
