CIVIL and the Journalists for the Rights of Children and Women, and Protection of the Environment of Macedonia (JCWE) launched a poster and flyer campaign, media activities, a children’s programme to exchange plastic guns for books and parties at a café to involve the public.

A programme was held in the city to encourage children to exchange toy guns for books which saw several children chuck their guns into a bucket and collect a book from the volunteers. The event was carried out right throughout the week of action amongst other campaigning activities.
