HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE “CHILDREN DRAW PEACE” WORKSHOP!
The Consulate General of Italy in Kolkata was delighted to visit St. Johns Diocesan Girls’ Higher Secondary School to conduct an interactive “Children Draw Peace” Workshop.
The workshop was part of a broader city-wide initiative where the Consulate General of Italy – in association with Missione Calcutta has engaged with 12 different schools across Kolkata to unite young children through art.
Supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), in collaboration with the Municipality of Stazzema and the Colors of Peace Association, the Project Empowered children to share their vision of global harmony and unity.
Working with the students at St. John’s Diocesan was an absolute joy! Our team was deeply touched by their enthusiasm, creativity, and remarkable talent. Each of the drawing reflected a unique, heartfelt perspective on peace.
As the artworks enter the international selection phase, we extend our warmest wishes to all participating students. We hope to witness several creations from schools in Kolkata to be selected to represent India on global platforms during the UN International Day of Peace celebrations at the Roman Colosseum!
A heartfelt thanks to all the schools which were part of the programme, the faculty, the students and St. Johns Diocesan Girls’ Higher Secondary School for their gracious hospitality.
