  • What Can Be Done to Protect Schools and Universities from Military Use?
    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE DRAFT LUCENS GUIDELINES Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack GCPEA 1 GCPEA Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack What is military use of schools and universities? During armed conflicts, schools and universities are often used by armed forces and non-state armed groups as bases, barracks and temporary shelters, defensive and offensive positions or observation posts, weapons stores, and detention and interro - gation centres. Classrooms, school grounds, and lecture halls are also used for military training and to forcibly recruit children into armed groups. Sometimes schools and universities are taken over entirely, and students are pushed out completely. At other times education facilities are partially used for military purposes, with troops building a firing position on a school’s roof, or using a few classrooms, or occupying a playground while students continue to attend. Schools can be used for military purposes for a few days, months, or even years, and may be used during school hours, or when schools are not in session, over holidays, or in the evening. In all instances, military use of schools and universities puts students, teachers, and academics at risk. Where is military use of schools and universities happening? According to the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA), between 2005 and 2014, national armed forces and non-state armed groups, multi-national forces, and even peacekeepers have used schools and universities in at least 25 countries during armed confict, including: Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Georgia, India, Iraq, Israel/Palestine, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, and Yemen.

    For Immediate Release. Please add this information to your listings. Thank you! O’BORN CONTEMPORARY presents: REVOLUTION, a solo exhibition, featuring photographs from the Egyptian revolution by ED OU OCTOBER 1 – NOVEMBER 5, 2011 www.oborncontemporary.com DATES: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, 6-9 pm Exhibition Opening and Reception Show Continues to NOVEMBER 5, 2011 Artist will be in attendance. Saturday, October 1, 12-5 pm Informal artist tours & talks. LOCATION: 131 Ossington Avenue, Toronto. GALLERY HOURS: Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 6 and by appointment. TELEPHONE: 416.413.9555 EXHIBITION STATEMENT: In January of 2011, Egyptians from all corners of the country erupted in mass protests, challenging the heavy-handed rule of President Hosni Mubarak. The entire world watched, as Egyptians fought to have their grievances heard using sticks, stones, shouts, cell phones, and computers. Over the course of eighteen days, protesters occupied Tahrir square, the symbolic heart of the revolution where Egyptians of all ages and parts of society could speak with one unified voice, demanding the ouster of the president. They debated politics, shared their testimonies, supported each other, and mapped out their hopes and dreams for their country. On February 11, President Mubarak resigned, ending thirty years of autocratic rule. As the euphoria and excitement dies down, Egyptians are beginning to question what they have actually achieved. They are asking themselves what they want to make of their new Egypt and how to reconcile with decades of mistrust of authority, corruption, and an economy in shambles. The difficult part arguably, is still to come. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Ed Ou (24) is a culturally ambiguous Canadian photojournalist who has been bouncing around the Middle East, former Soviet Union, Africa, and the Americas.

    e/th 30 Festival International du/of photojournalism photojournalisme PRELIMINARY 2018 PROGRAM July 20, 2018 PRO. WEEK 03.09 au/to 08.09 FESTIVAL 01.09 16.09 2018 30 YEARS, ALREADY! OR ONLY 30 YEARS? Flashback to 1989, to the very first Visa pour l’Image Festival. There were very few captions, or none at all, and no titles for the exhibitions. It was all a bit “cottage industry,” but there was great enthusiasm and dedication. The first evening shows in Perpignan, at the Palais des Rois de Majorque, were done with slides, and the moisture in the air with the heat from the projectors formed weird patterns of condensation. It was the first festival, but it was deemed a success. We felt that the idea could work, that there really was something to be done for all those people working in photography and the press. It was the heyday for photo agencies. We obviously needed to get bigger, and we did. A few years later, we’d reached the age of seven, the age of reason, and while a bit surprised that we were still around, the success continued. Then we made it to the 10th year, the 15th, the 20th, the 25th, and now it’s 30. Thirty years is not a full lifetime, but it’s a good half. First of all, thanks are due to those who have been here since the very beginning, and to those who joined us in the second year, and to all the others, all the teams and workers, and the loyal partners, both public and private, who have been with us for so long.

Photojournalists may have lost ground in the press, but reports are presented in other ways and are attracting growing audiences, through modern media, festivals and cultural venues. As the world continues, in constant change (freedom movements in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Bahrain, Ivory Coast and more), or faced with the furies of nature (earthquake and tsunami in Japan), and man’s cruelty to man (Marrakech and Afghanistan), there are stories every day, every hour, every minute, and an almost instantaneous profusion of photographs. Photojournalism today is presented in a diversity of forms and media, via professional channels, stringers, free-lancers and amateurs. Everyone seems to be practicing photojournalism, or at least claiming to do so. Yes, photojournalism is still a key vector – for news and information, for minds and ideas, for the pursuit of freedom, for judgment and the quest for truth. In doing this, some die and some are taken hostage. They must not be forgotten. A reference in this profusion of pictures is Visa pour l’Image- Perpignan in early September, now the annual international meeting place for photojournalism. In 2010, 225 000 entrances were recorded for the 28 exhibitions and evening shows on the giant screen, including secondary school students, i.e.
