More than 300 children from 16 worldwide countries participated in the project in 2016: Armenia, Belarus, China, USA, Georgia, Estonia, France, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Moldova, Nigeria, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
Our competition is apolitical . In the current geopolitical context rather chaotic , it is important for us to educate children on the themes of solidarity , friendship and humanism. So we work with them, their parents and organizations to share the values of Peace. The competition partners are companies and people who show enthusiasm for this hopeful project.
Organizers: International NGO » Club de Chance » (Paris, France with its Georgian branch) and Association « Institute Nénuphar » (Paris, France)
