Al-Mansour Pediatric Hospital, Baghdad, 2001
We encourage and support drawing, painting and sculpting for the sheer pleasure of it. Beyond that we recognize art as an important language of childhood, one that offers children and youth an opportunity to speak - to each other and to the wider community - and to have their views taken seriously.
ICAE brings art created in our projects to community, national and international forums and events as a way to include the ideas, views, concerns, hopes and dreams of children and youth in the critical discussions and conversations of our day.
