PENCIL OF LIFE

Project PENCIL OF LIFE was the first independent project of the Committee for Human Rights Negotin, carried out with the financial support of Freedom House. The Committee implemented this project within the national campaign “Come out and vote”, with participation of almost all the NGOs in Serbia. The aim of this project was animation of the population in this part of Serbia, to participate in September 2000 elections. PENCIL OF LIFE is the only project which whole idea and implementation was done in a local community, with results all over Serbia.
Within the project, T-shirts, leaflets, brochures, and pens were made and printed. In addition, there were five original jingles made and broadcasted at the Independent Television Negotin. As well, within the pre-electoral campaign, ANEM organized rock concerts in around 40 towns in Serbia. One of those concerts should have been held in Negotin, and the plan was that great deal of our material be given to the people present at that concert. However, on the day of concert, police authority banned the concert. In addition, police did not allow us to disseminate the material in the centre of the town, so the material was given to the citizens in the premises of the Committee and in front of it, as well as on rock concert in neighbouring Bor.
