Art from the Heart

This is the digital exhibition of artworks and message from children all over the world prepared by the Children's Advisory Team of Child Rights Connect. The goal is to support the discussion at the Annual Day on the Rights of the Child at the UN Human Rights Council about children in armed conflict by showing how children see the world, how conflict affects them, and what they want adults and decision makers to do to protect them.

Children’s voices matter. Their views matter. Even, and especially, in times of war. When children are listened to, peace becomes possible.

أحلم أن أرى غزة مدينة جميلة تنبض بالحياة، مليئة بالحدائق والمدارس والمكتبات. أتمناها نظيفة، مزدهرة، مليئة بالألوان والفرح في كل زاوية. أريد أن أرى الأطفال يذهبون إلى مدارسهم كل صباح، وأن تنتشر المحبة والتعاون بين الناس. وأتمنى أن تكون بها أماكن ترفيه وملاعب وشوارع مضيئة، وأن يسمع العالم صوتها في العلم والفن والإبداع. غزة تستحق أن تزهر، وأن تكون مكاناً يفتخر به الجميع.

English Translation

I dream of seeing Gaza as a beautiful city, pulsating with life, full of gardens, schools, and libraries. I hope it will be clean, prosperous, and filled with colors and joy in every corner. I want to see children going to their schools every morning, and for love and cooperation to spread among the people. I hope that it will have entertainment areas, playgrounds, and brightly lit streets, and that the world will hear its voice in science, art, and creativity. Gaza deserves to bloom and to be a place everyone is proud of.
