More than 2,700 children from 70 Slovenian kindergartens and
primary schools took part in creating works of art. The competition has
been organised by the Society for sustainable development Sobivanje, in
cooperation with the BTC Company and the Mission: Green project for the
third year in a row.
In the scope of the competition, the children were able to write
down, paint or photograph their thoughts about friends and friendships.
The closing event in the theatre SiTi teater was followed by the opening
of the exhibition of received works, which will remain on display until
8th June 2015.
Member of the BTC Management board and marketing director Damjan
Kralj, MA, spoke at the event about the efforts of the BTC Company on
encouraging young people: “Sustainable projects are intended for all
future generations. We are happy to be encouraging children in finding
the right paths and values which will in the future help strengthen the
entire community and lead them towards a more kind and creative
society.”
nada Pavšer, president of the society Sobivanje, said at the event:
“Friendships are important and their value priceless. They enrich our
lives and remind us that we are social beings who need each other to
provide confirmation and a critical view of our opinions.”
We received more than 100 exceptional works. Our jury chose the three
