25.-26th of July 2015
Partner organisation: Association SPOC (Bulgaria)
Sponsored by: EEA Grants
Our partner organisation Association SPOC initiated to create an Intuitive Painting Festival for Peace and Equality in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia.
Peacepainting sent several participants (3 children and 7 adolescents) and 2 Peacepainting representatives to attend the festival.
The aim of the festival was to involve immigrants who have come to Bulgaria to participate in the workshops and different interactive activities were conducted.
The inclusion of children and adolescents from different communities and nationalities in this joint activity (intuitive painting) was aimed to contribute to the understanding for beauty and unity in the diversity. This was aimed to increase tolerance, equality and cohesion between different peoples and nations.
In addition to the paintings created at the festival, Peacepainting had brought paintings from all over the world. Together the paintings were on display at the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Police in Sofia for three months.
