My Drawing Our World
CHILDREN’S ART PROGRAM AND EXHIBIT

This children’s educational program will invite children ages 7 – 14 to artfully express the vision and principles of Child Honouring. This will be done through art-making workshops and by online invitation and participation with parental consent and supervision. 

Displaying the children’s art work in a variety of settings will show people the Child Honouring vision through the innocence, delight and honesty of children’s art. 

We are currently fundraising for this project. If you would like to join our sponsors or have any questions about the program please contact our Project Director Tracy Harrison - Tracy@childhonouring.com

CHILDREN & NONVIOLENCE INITIATIVE
The Centre’s Children and Nonviolence Initiative—supported by the Dalai Lama, and by Honorary Patron HRH prince El Hassan of Jordan—provides a focal point for faith leaders to express their commitment to honouring the dignity of children.

Alarmed by the prevalence of violence against children worldwide, we believe the times cry out for a new religious moment, in which the world’s religious and spiritual leaders stand as one in honour of the world’s young.

An outpouring of public support for respecting the personhood of children could plspark a historic multi-faith decree upholding the sanctity of the child, and urging the elimination of physical, mental and emotional violence against children—something that could profoundly impact human behaviour for generations to come.

We invite all citizens to sign the Plea to Faith Leaders and send it to their community faith leader and to the leader of their religion or faith tradition. The Plea calls on faith leaders to sign a Proclamation in a show of unity.
