Project
On the 3rd of May 2008, World Press Freedom Day, many actions and workshops will take place in different countries around the world. Every action will have concrete results and works with artistic means. This also counts for the local workshops. The final result will be a book that will be spread around the world.
The overall topic is: freedom of expression (that includes freedom of speech, press freedom, opinion forming and making) and to work in every country with a main artistic mean such as: music, video, photography, theatre, creative writing, street art and painting, graphical and digital design and dance and movements
Aims of the project
With the project Loesje wants to promote intercultural learning, communication and cooperation by creating a collective book and dvd. Next to that Loesje wants to promote freedom of expression and free speech as essential human rights and to empower people to make use of it, by giving creative writing workshops, writing and publishing on the topic and to promote World Press Freedom Day.
World Press Freedom Day
World Press Freedom Day is an opportunity to remind the world of the importance of protecting the fundamental rights of freedom of expression and freedom of the press, as stated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Without these rights, democracy cannot prevail and development remains unattainable.
The United Nation decided in 1993 to held an annual world press freedom day on the 3rd of May.
Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are essential for the work Loesje is doing. She makes use of these rights herself and she encourages and stimulates others to make use of these rights.
Visit UNESCO’s website for more information on World Press Freedom Day.

Designers need to think about others for the sake of improving the human existence. What we have received is a gracious blessing. Without it, we are nothing. Which is why we need to give it back.
