On June 8th 2025 we gathered at the Public Library in Amsterdam West (De Hallen) for the opening event of the exhibition Shaping a Hopeful Future. Children’s drawings touch a universal feeling of solidarity and compassion. From that shared sense of humanity, space opens up for dialogue — about pain, hope, loss, and connection. This is precisely what makes this project so powerful. By seeing the world through the eyes of children, differences fade away and bridges are built.
The exhibition will be shown in different locations in the Netherlands and Europe. Here is the current list of dates and locations. Please e-mail us to suggest more locations for this exhibition.
Read the inspiring words of the initiators Vered Raz (GazEl), Marwa from Gaza and from The school of the Hagar-association in Beer-Sheba. These were read during the opening event.
All photo’s taken during this event were taken by photographer Inbal Tur-Shalom.
