Photo Workshop “Valeri Jahorine”

From October 25^th to 28^th, Jahorina Olympic Center hosted a photo workshop “Valeri Jahorine”, which was held for the first time at the initiative of photographer and designer Marija Nišić, and with the unselfish support of Professor Đorđe Odanović. The workshop gathered eighteen photographers, as well as photo lovers, from the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and had the aim to give a creative impulse to the various activities that OC Jahorina carried out, but also to sensitize the wider social community for openness towards preserving the cultural heritage in terms of photographic material, and hence creates preconditions for fostering photographic literacy and  photography art in the cultural and tourist potential of Jahorina and the region.
