Children from Philippines awarded for arts for Lidice

For several years the Philippine scholars were participating on the International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice, which commemorates the child victims from the Czech village of Lidice murdered by German Nazis, as well as all other children who have died in wars. The best among the participants of the 41. Anniversary, were awarded on the Czech Embassy in Manila by Ambassador Josef Rychtar.

The International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice (ICEFA Lidice) was established in 1967 to commemorate the child victims from the Czech village of Lidice murdered by German Nazis, as well as all other children who have died in wars. Although national initially, this exhibition became an international one in 1973 and since then it has become well known among children and teachers not only in our country but literally all over the world. In late years, more than 25,000 very good works of art have come regularly by children not only from the Czech and Slovak republics but also from other 60 - 70 countries, including exotic ones such as China, India, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, Srí Lanka or Zimbabwe.
