In today's podcast, Donagh McKeown talks to members of #artforpeace
Artforpeace is a key part of both world@peace and the inaugural programme schools@peace, recognising the central place that art has had in humanity’s journey from Monet to Van Gogh Art like music gives children and adults a ‘safe space’ to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears and dreams.
The Artforpeace project launches on the island of Ireland giving children the opportunity through art to commemorate and celebrate 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed, after decades of violence. Initially entries will be online. Our aim is for the artwork to be published in a commemorative book which will be presented to Heads of State, Government and other key figures Internationally. It is the intention that the project will roll out globally in future
