UNICEF and Isobar Collaborate to Paint Over Children's Drawings of War with Hope
The trauma experienced by young children, who often cannot express themselves well in words, frequently manifests in their drawings. The drawings of children living in war-torn Syria depict people with guns pointed at them, lying bleeding, and destroyed buildings, offering a glimpse into the wounds and darkness inflicted upon their hearts.
On the website for "PENCIL OF HOPE," a collaborative project between UNICEF and Isobar Hungary (part of Dentsu Inc. Aegis Network), visitors can use their fingers or a mouse to overlay blue color onto the monochrome drawings of devastation displayed on screen, transforming them into images filled with hope and joy. http://www.unicef-remenyrajzai.hu/en
The drawings can be shared on social media and are also printed on practical items like blankets and notebooks, which are distributed to children living in refugee camps. This is to convey to traumatized children that there is hope for their future.
