Children use colors to send a strong signal for peace in Anklam
Under the motto “Children paint for peace”, committed children and volunteers sent a strong signal for peace in Anklam yesterday. The event took place at Caritas and offered participants the opportunity to creatively engage with the painful concepts they associate with war. These included hunger, weapons, pain, sadness and broken houses. At the same time, they were able to paint their visions of peace, which they associated with concepts such as food and drink for all, flowers, playing and learning. Such initiatives are important to raise awareness of peace, particularly in relation to the needs of children, reports the Northern Courier.
As part of the event, children used a variety of painting techniques including wax paint, pastels and sugar crayons to express their thoughts on stones and beeswax. The crowning conclusion was a happy “feast” with juice, cookies and homemade cake. A real treat that perfectly rounded off the creative atmosphere.
