On 18th June 2019 at Kazamat Gallery, Centre for Peace, nonviolence and human rights Osijek, in cooperation with the Croatian Red Cross Osijek and Udruga Breza, hosted INTEGRA day as a part of an exhibition "Create the Change" that marked World Refugee Day.
The exhibition presented „Balkan trails“ - works of award-winning Slovenian authors Ciril Jazbec, Matic Zorman, Boštjan Pucelj and Matej Povše. The photographs were taken during the time of migrant and refugee flow that happened in 2015 and they present the individual experience and the current state of each of the authors. In the framework of the exhibition was also presented the series of photos called „Children on the Balkan route“ that have been made at the time of the refugee crisis in Hungary, Serbia and Croatia by Marko Mrkonjić.
As a part of the exhibition Centre for Peace presented photographs that were made as a part of Photovoice activity of INTEGRA project and visuals through which you can learn about Arabic culture, find interesting recipes from the Arabic cuisine, learn about famous immigrants, etc. Centre for Peace also introduced their digital creative tool - a comic book that presents similarities and differences between Croatian and Persian language.
At the end of the exhibition, Centre for Peace presented the results of Home Away From Home project that consists of learning modules as well as of research and online platforms which could be seen on an infographic.
