During the training course, the participants from 8 countries have captured the stories of successfully overcoming challenges of marginalized young people. They were searching for stories to capture in photography and video in Ljubljana, Maribor, Kranj and other places in Slovenia. They have focused on the social inclusion challenges of refugees, homeless people, former prisoners, drug addicts, delinquents, people with disabilities and have also met same-generation youngsters that have faced violence. 11 photo series and 4 shorts films have been created.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was opened for public from the 27th of July till the 27th of August 2016 in ZRC Atrium<\/a>.<\/p>\n
