  • Step-by-step description of the project process:
    In September, children in various local creative circles were asked to draw a fish with legs (a symbol of the Exodus Foundation). A similar topic was offered to children in creative circles in Germany, Ukraine and Russia.
    A month later, having collected the works of the participants, the Foundation held an exhibition of children's works at the House of the Troops in Morin, Montenegro - where children from local circles could participate (for the rest, an online broadcast was conducted).
    A small banquet for children was held at the exhibition, where they were told why it is important to do socially useful things, and what the Foundation does.
  • Outcome of the project
    As a result of the project, the children thought about the responsibility of each person for society, found expression for their creative potential, felt the spirit of interculturalism and the opportunity to communicate with children from other countries through creativity.
