Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On October 16, 2022, the Serbian women's volleyball team won the FIVB women's volleyball world championship. To celebrate the victory, Zijin Mining Group gave the team EUR 300,000 on October 17, 2022. The donation is denounced by environmental activists who claim that Zijin Mining Group is attempting to create a better public image for their company less than a month after activists were removed from a camp protesting the expansion of Zijin's mining.
