Dear OMEP National Presidents:

We hope that you are all doing very well and that you are optimistically facing the transformation of our daily lives due to COVID -19. As you know, the changes in our lives and in the routines of children led us to the decision to extend the term of the World Project “COLOR YOUR RIGHTS: Commemoration of the Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child” until June 30, 2021. 

In this sense, we want to inform you that we continue with the announced process inviting each country to select and send by email, before June 30, 10 drawings, which will be presented at the 2022 World Assembly and Conference, to be held in Athens. The works will also be shared through the OMEP Cyprus website.
