My friendship drawing is about two friends, - one is getting a gift from the other and both are super happy.
La amistad es poder compartir buenos momentos. Es encontrar apoyo cuando más lo necesitas. Es escuchar y poder ser escuchado; ayudar y ser ayudado. Es saber que siempre va a haber alguien que te quiere, que te valora, que te extraña. Es preocuparse por la otra persona y querer verla feliz. Es el cuidado y el respeto. Son los recuerdos y la alegría. Es la confianza mutua, algo que se comparte.
I have drawn a girl who is not aloud to decide over her own life. She feels anger and sorrow and is very sad. Not all human being have the same rights and possibilities and that is unfair. A friend is fair.
The gift of giving. I especially like the theory that sometimes a stranger is your friend.

THE BOOK «WHAT DOES A FRIEND DO?»
Children and youth from 26 different countries have submitted their drawings and brief texts in response to the theme: «What is a friend doing?», for publication in a book. Unfortunately editing and production of this book has been delayed due to reasons outside ECHO 2012´s control. We are working hard to get the publishing process on track again. The children and youth have sent important messages, giving inspiration to promote friendship across country borders. The drawings they have submitted can be viewed on this link.
«TWIN PICTURES» SHOWN ON «CHILDREN`S DAYS»
On November 7th - 8th , 2009 children from Poland and Norway «met each other» via «Twin Pictures» shown on Concerts Norway ´s « Children´s Days» in Oslo. The concept was implemented through a two-ways interactive video-conference communication system, where children in one country could see live video of children in the other country, projected on large a canvas. They could talk to each other and simultaneously paint (contours) on the canvas of the video-pictures they saw, thus creating very interesting novel art work. This was a cooperation project, where «Childrens days», «Art Studio KAMELON - MDK (Pracownia Plastyczna KAMELON - MDK)», «Art Studio WALOR - MDK (Pracownia Plastyczna WALOR - MDK)» and «The Oslo School of Fine Arts » were participating.

«TWIN PICTURES» - PICTURES CREATING COMMUNICATION AND FRIENDSHIP
ECHO 2012 will create an arena for promoting friendship across national borders. We will develop tools for creating «meeting venues», using art works and digital communications media. In 2010 we plan to establish a project, where children from 5 continents of the world can meet online through interactive video communication. The tools (movie trailers and PDF-documents) we are going to develop, will be designed for use (free of charge) by schools, youth clubs and relevant organizations, wanting to participate in the forthcoming international cooperation efforts for friendship promotion.
