The drawings will be a “gift” to other children in the form of a visual expression that brings hope and draws attention to the problems in the world – we see them, think about them – and make sure they are seen.
Finally, the organizers will make a film with all the drawings. It will be shared with the whole world through Viborg’s worldwide UNESCO network and on various other platforms.
