Already well-known O’VISOR project, organized by BRAVO – Bosnian Representative Organization for Valuable Opportunities and supported by the European Commission, has got something new for all photography lovers.
We are proud to announce a photography contest that offers fantastic monetary awards along with exhibiting all chosen artworks on international exhibitions in Athens in February and in Sarajevo in April this year. O’VISOR project is common work for sharing EU solidarity, cooperation and volunteering framework through cooperation of 10 CSO-s coming from 10 different countries. It aims for strengthening the EU unity and supporting WB region on the way to EU, making a community-based, community-built and community-supported impact and improvement of volunteering policies at the transnational level, supporting solidarity in the time of crises and boosting cooperation of the EU countries with WB.
The goal is to foster awareness and public understanding about the importance of the volunteerism and solidarity issues, improve sustainable conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level and include citizens from the WB countries. Accordingly, O’VISOR exhibitions are designed to gather visual artworks to show examples of good practice in volunteerism and solidarity during crisis and inspire other young people to help their communities when in need.
