Silhouette exhibit in Poland
2007 : A silhouette exhibit at the UN
Adults’ Messages

March 14: The opening of a silhouette exhibit brought together thirty children who spoke to more than one hundred adults. They were delegates for children from all around the world.

They were welcomed by 5 embassadors and the Director of the Cultural Services at the United Nations.

The children from the Tapori weekends in Switzerland went into the meeting room of the Human Rights Council to invite adults to visit the exhibit.

Children from the Villa Yoyo in Versoix, from Renens (close to Lausanne), and from the Sécheron High School (Geneva) also spoke at the event.
"We created our silhouettes to say what we have in our hearts to people who don’t know us and to talk about friendship. When we do our silhouette, we see that we’re different and that helps us to respect each other."
 
"Children, keep hope that inequality in the world will disappear."
 
"For the world to go well, we need to listen to children..."
 
Then children and young people handed out bookmarks with silhouettes and messages on them. "This bookmark will help you to remember us!"
