In the true story, children make fun of Ono because they don’t really know him. Rene takes the time to get to know Ono and find out who he really is.
Once the children have read the story and discussed it with others, they make their silhouette and write a message for the whole world.
March 14: The opening of a silhouette exhibit brought together thirty children who spoke to more than one hundred adults. They were delegates for children from all around the world.
They were welcomed by 5 embassadors and the Director of the Cultural Services at the United Nations.
The children from the Tapori weekends in Switzerland went into the meeting room of the Human Rights Council to invite adults to visit the exhibit.
