Murals Inaugurated in Pécs

English

The mural-painting programme is the brainchild of the Mural Morale Group, established three years ago, and the In One Ship Foundation. Currently, 72 children are involved in the project at six ?mural workshops? around the city.

 
The murals are born from the experience of the children. The images are the result of role-play, musical and fine arts activities they participate in before taking up their paint brushes.
 

The tenth mural in Pécs was created in the framework of the MOL Children?s Healing programme. It was painted by 30 youngsters on a 60-square-metre part of the gymnasium of the Pécs-Vasas Primary School.

 
The mural painting programme is a big success for its participants, fostering their integration with other youth, their psychological rehabilitation and their development, said Dr. Tímea Réti Tímár, who heads the In One Ship Foundation.
 

The painting of the murals is also supported by the Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture Programme.
