Children celebrate their art work for War Through Children's Eyes

“This initiative aims to raise awareness of the impact of wars and violent conflicts on communities worldwide, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable members of these communities: children. The competition was organised for the very first time, by the Azerbaijani Community in the United Kingdom, in 2022 as a tribute to the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly massacre that took place on the night of February 26th, 1992 in Azerbaijan, claiming the lives of 613 civilians, including 106 women and 63 children.” 

Edna Fernandes, BC Director/Co-Founder, will be on the judging panel for the 2024 competition.

“Beyond Conflict is proud to support this competition and its astonishing work. The children’s artwork shows courage and insight and was a highlight for many of the hundreds of people who attended the Exhibition. Congratulations to all the children who took part.”

Child of War closed on 8 June 2024 after being viewed by hundreds of people from across the UK. We hope to announce further venues soon. Beyond Conflict would like to thank the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, Ukrainian Welcome Centre, Arabella Dorman, the curating artist and BC Ambassador, WTCE and Andriy Gonchar of Expo Success for his superb installation of the exhibition.
