The Tree of Languages

 Poster campaign, 16 Sep 2024 - 26 Sep 2024, Patra, Greece

We are making a big poster named “The Tree of Languages”. The poster shows a tree with the symbol of peace at its roots. The tree is nourished by peace and on its branches leaves grow with words related to everything we enjoy when we live in peace. The words are written in various languages that the pupils look up in dictionaries. They draw the tree, make the leaves and stick them on the branches.
