‘Harness children’s talents through arts’

• Children could not wait for the peace poster

The Lions Club International District 418 has reiterated its commitment to chalk an unprecedented success in the 2022-2023 Peace Poster and Peace Essay Contest held annually to promote national and global peace.

The international peace poster contest under the theme “Lead with Compassion”, is to harness the talents of children between the ages of 11 to 13 years to submit works that promote peace through compassion.

According to Lion Diane Novis Zukowski, Chairperson of the District 418 Peace Poster, it is always important to safeguard and promote peace in our nation because it is an important tool for national development.

Touching on the Peace Poster campaign, she observed that children know how powerful compassion could be and are often able to express this feeling more openly than adults.

“This year, we invite young people to explore and visually express the peaceful future that compassionate leadership brings, however, students and children between the ages of 11 to 13 years as of November 15, 2022 are eligible to participate in the International Peace Poster Contest”, she underscored.

For participating in the contest, Lion Diane said one must send an essay on this year’s theme or a pencil sketch of the Lions Clubs International logo together with his or her name and contact details to dpp@lionsclubsghana.org.

The District 418 Peace Poster Chairperson commended her team for their support to make children in Ghana excel during the International contest, and also working hard to promote Lions Club International aim of maintaining peace.

She encouraged stakeholders to partner with Lions Club District 418 for this laudable initiative that would always safeguard the peace of the nation and also called on sponsors to come on board and support the peace poster contest.

Lion Diane and her District 418 team recently stormed the 2022 Chalewote Festival with their peace poster campaign to increase awareness.
