OPEN CALL 2025
Art and Creativity - FREE EXPRESSION
According to UNICEF, children have the right to express themselves freely and to express their opinions on issues that affect their personal, social, economic, religious, cultural, and political lives. They also have the right to have their opinions heard and respectfully considered.
Our summer 2025 program focuses on supporting children in developing the agency & skills needed to articulate their concerns, needs & dreams. We look to promote and inform about human rights and encourage confidence and capability in decision making through creative education and guided opportunities for self-discovery through art.
