Children set a strong sign for peace in Anklam with colors

Anklam, Deutschland - Under the motto "Children Painting for Peace" yesterday, committed children and volunteers made a strong sign for peace. The event took place at Caritas and offered the participants the opportunity to deal creatively with the painful terms they associate with war. This included hunger, weapons, pain, sadness and broken houses. At the same time, they were able to paint their visions of peace, which they combine with terms such as eating and drinking for everyone, flowers, games and learning. Such initiatives are important in order to raise awareness of peace, especially with regard to the needs of children, reports the Nordkurier .

As part of the event, the children used various painting techniques, including wax painters, pastel colors and sugar, to express their thoughts on stones and beeswax. The crowning glory was a happy “feast” with juice, cookies and homemade cakes. A real pleasure that perfectly rounded off the creative atmosphere.
