Opening of the exhibit “Inter-religious Cooperation”

On December 23, 2024, at the Art Gallery in Tetovo, CED opened a week-long exhibition with over 33 photographs taken by primary school students from the municipalities of Tearce and Tetovo. This exhibition is part of the project “Unity in Diversity: Youth-Led Intercultural Dialogue,” supported by NDI North Macedonia.

To bring this exhibition to life, young people and volunteers from CED organized a series of workshops in schools focusing on interfaith collaboration. The best artworks were awarded, along with the mentoring teachers who guided the creative process. The exhibition will remain open throughout the week for all visitors at the Tetovë Art Gallery. You are invited to experience the powerful message of cooperation and intercultural dialogue conveyed through the art.

The project aims to promote intercultural cooperation and understanding among youth through a range of engaging activities. Interactive workshops will encourage dialogue, teamwork, and mutual respect, while an open call for essays and artworks on the theme of “Intercultural Cooperation” will provide a creative platform for young voices. Educational sessions will raise awareness about the importance of intercultural collaboration, address stereotypes, and share successful practices. A final event will celebrate the submitted works, acknowledge outstanding contributions, and allow young participants to present their ideas. To maximize the project’s impact, a media campaign will showcase its outcomes, utilizing social media, articles, videos, and interviews to raise public awareness.

This initiative aims to strengthen communication between diverse cultures, promote school-led activities that reduce stereotypes, and empower youth from various communities to engage in collaborative actions across religious and national divides.
