Children Matter is a 3-day webinar presented by CASE Art Fund, a Chicago/Oslo based organization whose mission is to raise awareness about children's human rights through the support and exhibition of photography that creates a positive impact on social awareness, human rights, and children's education. CASE is working with the UNHCR to draw attention to the ongoing children’s refugee crisis, with a focus on the catastrophe happening in Greece. The webinar includes a panel discussion with prominent humanitarian advocates, a conversation with photographers at the forefront of assorted crises, video and photographic exhibitions, and personal stories shared by the Almadani family, who came to Chicago as refugees and were resettled by RefugeeOne [the largest refugee resettlement agency in Chicago], Children Matter promises to be engaging and educational, while showing the power of art to create action.
