Different People. One Europe! in the eyes of children from Pécs

In April 2010, Khetanipe finalised their One Europe! campaigning activity with an event at the Heroes Square school in Pécs, where the majority of students come from the neighbouring Roma settlement, on the edge of the city. In an after-school activity led by staff of Khetanipe Roma organization, in cooperation with the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service, young Roma and non-Roma children from the school have been learning about the European Union and how to express the meaning of variuos concepts through art. They discussed and painted visualizations of values such as friendship, diversity and acceptance of each other. After much pratice, they worked together to paint two large wall hangings, which for them, represent the meaning of ‘Different People. One Europe!’
