From Japan to Slovakia with Love / Around the World with Love

From Russia: We live on different continents, in different time zones and Climate conditions. Every country has its own culture and traditions. But Children all over the world are worried about the same problems, and are happy about the same things. This project will help us to compose a hugepicture of the world through children’s eyes.The 9th Conference iEARN took place in Russia in July 2002. The 10th Conference was in Japan in July 2003. The project From Russia to Japan with Love compared those two Conferences. We would like to keep this good tradition going. And we would like the exhibition of children’s drawings to come to Slovakia.

From Japan: Inspired by the 2002-2003 project “ From Russia to Japan with Love” that was exhibited at the 10th Annual Conference in Japan last year, this year's exhibition will start from Japan, Korea, then China,Taiwan and it will reach Slovakia finally. We will welcome the pictures of any countries including those 4 countries. Students from elder grades of elementary schools and junior high schools begin to express their opinion according to their study. Environment and peace are included this project theme.
