Drawing against Hunger

A CREATIVE SOLIDARITY PROJECT

Creativity to show solidarity and fight hunger: this is the idea behind Dessin contre la Faim (Drawing Against Hunger), an initiative for schools and their pupils. Today, some 735 million people are suffering from hunger across the world. Hunger is a real problem, but it is not inevitable.

By taking part in this charity initiative, pupils can harness their imagination and creativity to benefit a worthy cause. As well as finding out about the issues linked to world hunger, the pupils can take their own concrete action.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A three-dimensional project with no fees for your school.

AN EDUCATIONAL PROJECT

You will use the tools provided by Action contre la Faim, which include an educational film, to raise awareness of world hunger among your pupils. This year, they will find out about the day-to-day lives of families assisted by Action contre la Faim in Cameroon.

A CREATIVE PROJECT

We offer educational and artistic activities so that you can organise creative workshops linked to the film and the highlighted country, but you are welcome to come up with others. The pupils can use the postcards provided by Action contre la Faim or make the most of recycled materials!

This year, we are offering three workshops connected to Cameroon:

Ndop, that’s top! Geometric patterns inspired by this traditional fabric.
Drapo’nimo: Cameroonian wildlife in Cameroonian colors!
The untameable lion: a wall decoration in the shape of a lion’s head (recycled art!).

There are other workshops on the subject of water, food and the environment.

A SOLIDARITY PROJECT

The pieces of art can be displayed at a charity exhibition to mark World Food Day (16 October), World Children’s Day (20 November), the winter holidays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, an end-of-year school party or an open day.

Families make a donation in exchange for 4 decorated postcards (minimum advised donation €4) to support their child’s hard work and commitment. The money raised during this charity exhibition will enable Action contre la Faim to carry on with its programmes that fight world hunger.

All of the donations collected must be centralised by the school, then sent to Action contre la Faim. You will receive the instructions for sending the collected money when you register.
