4th ESO Global Murals 0809

Like 2 years ago we've taken part in a Global Youth Murals exhibion designing a mural which illustrated our ideas for peace. This project has also been run toghether with Nuri Gussinyer, the arts teacher from the school. In fact she has done the most of it.
The Murals were exhibited at PTPI's annual global youth forum and other locations.

The process and its symbolism

We have done this project with students aged 15 years old at 4^th course from secondary compulsory education. They are all from a state school in Olot, Catalonia Spain.

We discussed the topic of PEACE in class so as to reach to an agreement on which icon symbolized peace on its global meaning.

The OPEN HAND was mostly chosen and we started to work on its elaboration having the open hand as our common symbol.

Each single student made his/her own and personal interpretation of what PEACE meant. There is one hand for every student who took part in the project. All of them form a global mural together with open white hands as well as peace messages and other peace symbols stamped on their hands so as to remember the different representations of peace.

Here you have an album of the process. Enjoy it!
