An exhibition about those who are watching and those who intervene Whoever goes from there. The one who does not say. The one who by not acting gives legitimacy to abuse. Bystander despite its importance, the bystander has an undisclosed role in the history books. Both in history and today people are making choices that decide whether to become a bystander. Several factors affect the choices we make. Although most of us would like to act, there are few who choose to intervene. What is it all about? What psychological factors form the basis of our actions? The exhibition also tells a different story. The story of those who refuse to be a spectator and shows that another choice can be made. A choice for fellow humanity and civil war. What you choose plays a roleMaterials used:
