Teachers are invited to participate
in a world drawing and painting contest for children aged 6 to 10
years. The objective of this contest is to foster a culture of
nonviolence and peace by raising awareness among young children
about these concepts. Teachers and educators participating in the
contest will help children invent a story in pictures, in the form
of a tale using animals, nature, colors, and their own symbols.
This story will be a collective work based on key words young
children can understand. It will be made up of six drawings,
illustrating specific themes. The drawings, with short
explanations, will form a story presented as a comic strip, a
fresco or a poster, depending on the choice of the participants.
Registration and participation in the contest will take place
simultaneously between January and October 2008. (This
initiative is based on UNESCO's "Draw me Peace" contest held in
2002.)
