🎨 And that's a wrap! 🎬

The "Create Peace: Forests to Streets" project ended a couple days ago.
Almost 30 participants met up in Subotica, Serbia, to discuss climate change, antimilitarism and to prepare and perform a street action linked to these topics. 🎭
They also went on a field trip at the border between Serbia and Hungary where they were taken on a tour to learn more about the history behind it. The field trip also gave them insight on one of Serbia's dryest regions and the current wildfires that devastated around 12,000 hectares of forests around the country this summer. 🍂
During those 7 days, the participants came up with a wonderful street action that they performed in the city center, in front of the National Theatre, which was filmed and will be posted in the form of a short film soon. 📹
Stay tuned!
