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.

This drawing is about the war in Ukraine.The gray wall on the left represents the cold, destruction, and the shelters where we have to hide.But I added bright colors—orange and pink—because they symbolize our warmth and the life that cannot be stopped.The small flag in the center is our unbreakable hope.The dark strokes at the bottom look like birds flying toward the light.

Description:

Цей малюнок про війну в Україні. Сіра стіна зліва — це холод, руйнування та укриття, в яких нам доводиться ховатися.
​Але я додала яскраві кольори — оранжевий та рожевий, бо це символ нашого тепла та життя, яке не зупинити. Маленький прапор у центрі — це наша незламна надія. Темні штрихи внизу схожі на птахів, що летять до світла.
