On the occasion of International Children’s Day, 1 June, the EU Info Centre in cooperation with visual artist Taida Jasarevic, organized the eco-graphics workshop on environmental protection and climate change for the children’s art section of the elementary school “Musa Ćazim Ćatic” from Sarajevo.

The educational workshop aimed, through the creative process of printing images with a board (so-called printing stencils), to teach students modes of expression through print art.

Recognized visual artist, Taida Jašarević, said that creative methods and techniques-used in the workshop can further stimulate children’s imagination and curiosity.

“Children had the opportunity to develop new methods and processes for creating pictorial representations and I hope that this process has raised their imagination and curiosity, and that they are encouraged to continue to develop their creativity in the field of art creation,” said Jasarevic.

Workshop participants had the task of creating work on the theme of environmental protection as part of the exhibition that will mark “European Climate Diplomacy Day” on 17 June 2015.

The exhibition of students’ work created during the workshop will be held on this occasion in the EU Info Centre. Students of the art section will be involved in setting up the exhibition with the help of artist Taida Jasarevic. This will afford them the opportunity of designing the visual layout of the exhibition space.

The EU Info Centre is a project funded by the European Union and aims to increase understanding among BiH citizens of the EU, its institutions, policies and programmes and the relations between BiH and the EU.
