Tolerance workshop at "June Art Home" in Phitsanulok, Thailand

On January 21st, June Art Home's students, aged 16-18, were invited to create their own Tolerance posters. Since there is no direct translation for the word tolerance in the Thai language, the students of June Art Home found their own replacement for that word. They designed their Tolerance posters based on them. To be inspired in their creation, the students were surrounded by the official Tolerance posters created by professional artists. At the end of the workshop, the students' Tolerance posters were on display alongside the official Tolerance Poster Show. The event also included movie screenings and students reading stories.

The founder of June Art Home, Chitlada Wiriyaprasit - June, hopes that after this experience, the students can be inspired to develop their artistic skills and social responsibilities.
