Step into a world of innocence and wonder with the captivating photography exhibition, “There Is No Other”.

In this thought-provoking showcase featuring children from 32 countries, we delve into the notion that if adults were to reconnect with their inner child, we could dismantle the barriers of prejudice and injustice that plague our society. Each photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the inherent goodness and boundless potential that resides within every child.

Diana Pavlova is a London-based photographer who, for seven years, through her lens, has been capturing the joy that children bring within. Growing up in Japan and China, from an early age Diana was immersed in different cultures that shaped her perspective on the world. Her education in France and Germany, where she completed her higher education, further influenced her deep understanding of global diversity and human interconnectedness, which is powerfully reflected in her work. Diana is an award-winning and in-demand photographer known for working with clients from several continents, including public figures and members of royal families.

The mission of the National Highschool of Applied Art “Trevnenska School” is to preserve and develop the traditions bequeathed by the Revival “Trevnenska Icon Painting and Wood Carving School” and to enrich them with new aesthetic values ​​​​in the field of artistic processing of wood, interior design and icon painting. The school provides conditions for the creative growth of young talents, quality and modern education, commensurate with the challenges of the XXI century.

The European scientific and cultural community awarded the National Highschool of Applied Art “Trevnenska School” with a “Golden Seal” and “Golden Book” for its contribution to the development of Bulgarian culture. On its 100th anniversary, the school was awarded the highest honor of the Ministry of Culture, “Golden Age”, which is awarded for an outstanding contribution to Bulgarian culture and for the development of cultural cooperation.

In addition to the curricula of the relevant specialties, the school develops a wide range of extracurricular activities, through which it is sought to expand the preparation of students in a number of areas of modern culture. In this regard, close contacts are maintained with non-governmental organizations, public, cultural and educational institutions. The school has been in contractual relations with the school of woodcarving in Brienz – Switzerland since 1997 and the school of landscape architecture in Belgrade.
