Big Mural
Workshop in Hechingen, Germany
25 June - 27 June 1999
GYMNASIUM HECHINGEN

This first workshop in Germany was successful in collaboration with many parents of the students. The local company Gambro and Sparkase Bank as well as the municipality greatly supported this project. The main theme of the mural was "Children Playing Joyfully through Four Seasons". It was very simple but very impressive. 28 fifth grade students participated in this project. After some discussion on peace, they concluded that every children could enjoy playing with friends. This project was going on the period while the war was actual in neighboring east European countries. Therefore, peace was not a matter of imagination but something actual for them. They emphasized the importance of "Peaceful World of Children" in the mural.
