In the beautiful coastal city of Bodø, we recently had the privilege of hosting a Peacepainting workshop at Fellesverket Bodø as part of our collaboration with Red Cross. Fellesverket, a vital youth project under the Red Cross, embodies a vision of providing open meeting places with free activity offerings for youth and young adults. It serves as a social arena for learning, and offers inspiring activities collaboratively developed by young individuals and volunteers.

In Peacepainting, we believe in the transformative power of art to unite and empower individuals from all walks of life. Our collaboration with the Norwegian Red Cross has allowed us to organize a series of Peacepainting workshops across various Fellesverket locations throughout the country.

The Peacepainting Workshop Experience

During our workshop at Fellesverket, Bodø, young people from the local community came together to participate. The workshop served as a platform for creativity and self-expression in a context of equality among people and nations.

The response from the participants was overwhelmingly positive. They expressed their appreciation for the workshop. Many mentioned their desire for more Peacepainting workshops in the future, which serves as a testament to the impact of art in fostering unity and a sense of belonging.
