IN SURPORT TO DISPLACED CHILDREN & YOUTH OF UKRAINE

According to Afshan Khan, UNICEF’s Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia, almost two-thirds of Ukrainian children are displaced either internally or across the border as refugees.

Refugee, displaced and migrant children often suffer from ‘injured self-esteem and diminished cultural pride’.

We believe through artistic projects Creative Fellowship and our collaborators can raise awareness of the current humanitarian crisis and bring moral support to children and youngsters at risk.

By engaging children and young people into BE YOUR OWN HERO art challenge  internationally we would like to promote courage and inspiration, facilitate new connections, and inspirit zeal for a better life amongst  those who need to be imbued.

Ready-To-Print exhibition can be printed by any institution (school, dance studio, theater or even a hairdresser salon!) anywhere in the world to show solidarity with Ukrainians.
