The Open Society Foundations, the Foundation Open Society - Macedonia and the Embassy of Hungary in Skopje cordially invite you to the opening of the
Chachipe Youth Photography Exhibition
Youth Cultural Center, Quay Dimitar Vlahov bb, Skopje, Macedonia
April 6, 2012, 11 a.m.
Curated by Gabriella Csizek, the exhibition will feature a selection of photographs from the Chachipe Youth international photography contest which was launched in November 2008 by the Open Society Foundations and OSA Archivum.
Chachipe Youth—chachipe means truth or reality in Romanes—invited submissions of photographs taken in the Decade of Roma Inclusion countries from young people aged 12 through 25. The contest sought to combat negative stereotypes, break with prejudiced portrayals and, through the lens of young people, present a more complex and more nuanced depiction of Europe’s largest ethnic minority, the Roma.
For more information and photos, see the Chachipe website and Facebook page.

EVENTS / PHOTO: The rights of children
The rights of children - Photo exhibition
Opening hours 10.00 – 13.00/16.00 – 19.30 - Perugia, Italy - April 21-25, 2010
The new exhibition The Rights of Children, inspired by the book bearing the same title, is the detailed testimony of photographer Giacomo Pirozzi on the condition of children and the work of UNICEF in developing nations. The book narrates the rights of children through photographs taken by the author during his 19 years of work around the world. Exquisite images that are fragments of lives lived on the edge, of denied and exploited childhoods, but that also allow for a glimmer of hope, because they show that it is possible to realize children’s rights by carrying out programs for their education, protection, health. The goal is to celebrate The Convention on the Rights of the Child on its twentieth anniversary (1989 – 2009) and to strengthen the awareness of UNICEF’s work on the field.
In association with UNICEF
