"Peace Forest" by ENO students in 2011!

Art and creativity has been an important part in ENO Tree Planting events. We started with the play “The Drops of Life” in 2007, a play about the importance of trees and global co-operation.
Based on the play, a new book was published this year, also called The Drops Of Life. ENO students will write their continuation and draw or paint pictures of their stories. These stories will be chosen for a new book by ENO students, called “The Peace Forest”. One book is not all. Each ENO school is asked to make their own book based on stories of their students. Then we altogether will make about 7 000 books! Depending on resources, they can be in English or in mother language, online or only as a paper version at schools.
This new book will be online and available for everybody interested. It will be published 16th of September 2011, in the ENO Conference in Finland. "Peace Forest" will be also given to world leaders in the UN General Summit, 21st of September, also known as The International Day For Peace.
