Spain | Art isn't just beautiful; it's also incredibly important for expressing oneself, especially for kids. That's why we were thrilled when our colleagues from Royal Talens Spain introduced us to Associació Sociocultural Ateneu l'Empelt. With our support and that of Royal Talens Spain, they organized a wonderful collaborative mural event.

Letting their voice be heard

Children, parents, and local artists came together to paint a mural for peace. They started by working on squares and silhouettes that the children could add their own touches to. They drew their own hands, painted flowers, and more, expressing their longing for peace. Throughout the day, they enjoyed plenty of tea and delicious snacks!

This event was made possible thanks to @entremans8 and @ateneulempelt.
