Enter the Color My Heart With Peace Art Contest- (For Kids Ages 7 to 11 )
With the separation of the two Koreas, we seek and hope for peace among the two. Let us imagine a unified Korea where the two live in harmony together, and put that image on a canvas with the power of art.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to foster the hope of peace among our youth through cultivating their talents in the field of visual arts, encouraging self-expression around the theme that is Color My Heart with Peace. Along with aiming to promote the use of art as a medium for self-expression, we want to raise awareness about the relationship of the two Koreas and the prospect of a sustainable peace for children.
2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Color My Heart with Peace originates from WFWP Thailand. At the Women’s Federation for World Peace, we’re dedicated to spreading the message of sustainable peace and the empowerment of women as well as the future generation. It is essential that we support the development of children so that they are able to reach their full potential. We believe that through art, they can discover another source of self-expression where they can channel their creativity and perhaps find a talent in it too.
