The Faculty of Law at Uzhhorod National University co-organized the traveling photo exhibition “Ecology and Law”
On November 17, the traveling children’s photo exhibition “Ecology and Law” opened at the “Owl’s Nest” Cultural and Historical Center as part of the 14th Docudays International Traveling Documentary Film Festival on Human Rights.
Exhibition organizer Maria Symkovych noted that this event has become a tradition, as it is being held for the fourth time. According to festival co-coordinator Maria Mendzhul, an associate professor at the UzhNU Faculty of Law, the venue was not chosen at random: the organizers decided to add a touch of children’s creativity to the restored cultural landmark.
The young people were inspired to be creative by watching films about human rights as part of the 14th Docudays UA Traveling Festival.
The main theme of this year’s festival—“Four Degrees”—is dedicated to the issues of climate change and environmental protection. Environmentalists predict that by the end of the century, the Earth’s average temperature will rise by exactly that amount, triggering natural disasters across the planet. The festival invites visitors to become catalysts for change and to examine environmental protection from various perspectives—not only through film, but also through legal education and advocacy events, discussions, eco-actions, and more.
Ruslana Naturkach, Head of the Main Territorial Administration of Justice in Zakarpattia Oblast; Yaroslav Lazur, Dean of the Law Faculty at Uzhhorod National University; and Oksana Babunych, Head of the City Council’s Education Department, welcomed the guests and presented valuable prizes and special awards to the city’s most talented students.
