Some of the works were presented in the park where the children discussed about the message they convey. Meanwhile the other paintings were presented in the premises of the school.  In the pupil’s paintings prevailed the love for a healthier life, their desire to protect the ozone layer and the message for a common effort toward this direction. What stood out in the works presented in the exhibition was the appeal that the pupils addressed to parents and teachers: “Protect yourself from the sun”.
