"100 PEOPLE, 100 WONDERS"

The Tolerance Posters Show inspired and motivated the Friends of Youth Association of Maribor to organize a youth-oriented project in Maribor, Slovenia. On the International Day of Tolerance, the Maribor National Liberation Museum hosted a contest called "100 PEOPLE, 100 WONDERS" for the best slogan and posters to promote tolerance and acceptance of diversity.

765 slogans and 11 posters on the subject of tolerance were submitted to the competition. From these, a committee consisting of Kornelija Kaurin (Association of Friends of Youth Maribor), Uroš Dokl and Jan Malec Svetel (Museum of National Liberation Maribor) and Tanja Cvitko (cultural producer, Idea Box Association), selected the winners. They are currently displayed at the youngsters' exhibition at the Museum of National Liberation Maribor.

We are expressing our gratitude to the young authors of the selected slogans and posters: Timotej Vališer, Lili Makuc, Til Trinkhaus, Ana Kovše, Idol Vrella, Mia Bratkovič, Naja Prelog, Maja Frangež, Valentina Dobaj, Mihael Kajdič, Zala Smogavec, Larisa Zašler. We also extend our appreciation to youngsters' teachers who allowed them to explore their creativity: Anka Jemenšek, Željka Premzl, Jolanda Lep, Bronja Jarc, Katja Emeršič, Simona Tement.

The prizes for the young authors were donated by the Sonček Tourist Agency, Narodni dom Maribor and Litera Publishing House. We thank them!

June Art Home was founded by Chitlada Wiriyaprasit – June in 1997. Her school focuses on kids and youth. She teaches her students with an open-ended approach in mind, which gives them a broad degree of freedom to create their art and design. Starting with painting, clay work, and collage art, she now also hosts alternative movie screenings and partners with organizations to create activities that help kids and youth enjoy art. This workshop was made possible by the tireless efforts of Chitlada Wiriyaprasit – June, Kritchanat Plianchoei – Ton, Paphawarin Seeladee – June, and Akarawut Kraikhajornkiti – Nae, with support from North Danaiphan.
