In an event filled with children’s smiles, METAdrasi presented a publication specially designed for children entitled “Your Rights, are always with you”!
With enthusiasm, young and old alike had their photos taken with the heroes, then enjoyed reading the book in Greek, Arabic, and French, and participated in making the figures. We had the pleasure and honor of having author Antonis Papatheodoulou and illustrator Myrto Delivoria with us.
This special presentation was organized through “Together in Sport-Phase II” and took place as part of the big Refugee Week Greece celebration at KAPAPS Park on June 20, World Refugee Day.
The event was the culmination of an effort that began some time ago by the METAdrasi team—supported by Family for Every Child—to create a “tool” that helps children learn about and understand their basic rights. Authors Stavroula Pagona and Antonis Papatheodoulou responded immediately to our call and created a group of heroes who never leave any child alone… a group of heroes made of paper: the paper of the Convention on the Rights of the Child! The publication was completed with the exceptional creations of Myrto Delivoria, who did the illustrations, and Konstantinos Kesidis, who designed the three-dimensional paper toys.
We warmly thank them for their contribution!
The book is available here in Greek, English, Arabic, Farsi, Ukrainian, Spanish, and French, along with figures you can print out to create the heroes.
