Meridiaan organizes a tour at the Comic Book Museum in Brussels for all students of the drawing contest

Als extra prijs kregen de leerlingen een gratis toegangsticket tot het stripmuseum. Ze genoten enorm van de trip.
Saturday 20 January was a particularly colorful day for Meridiaan’s students and for Ghent’s participants of the drawing contest organized by Francolympiades and VOV. All visited the Comic Book Museum in Brussels, an event that was organised for free to reward all students for their hard work.

The trip started in Ghent, where the students took the train heading to Brussels. For some of them it was the first time on a train, so the trip itself was already an adventure. Once the students arrived at their destination, they were tour-guided through the collection. Afterwards, they could explore the museum freely.


Back in the train to Ghent, the students had animated conversations about their shared experience. The visit might just serve as inspiration for the next drawing contest. In any case, it has awakened creativity and stimulated their interest in reading.

Meridiaan exhibits the drawings resulting from the “art of living together”-contest at de Krook library in Ghent

In stadsbibliotheek De Krook staan sinds kort de tekeningen van Fedactio's tekenwedstrijd tentoon.
The beautiful drawings selected for the Fedactio drawing contest
Meridiaan displayed all the winning drawings from its drawing contest “Kunst van het samenleven” (the art of living together) at Ghent’s new library, which opened its doors for the first time on 8 January. The drawing contest was centered around the topic “the world of tomorrow”, a theme seamlessly matching the library’s own collection about the new year.

The exhibition attracted a wide audience, something for which Meridiaan’s responsible was very thankful: “With this project we ensure that the drawings’ messages reach as many people as possible. The messages are nature-related and advocate global peace and technological advancements being used for the better, all topics might attract people’s attention”.


The exhibition will be displayed until 29 January and is definitely worth visiting. Make sure you don’t forget to admire De Krook, an impressive building in itself.

Drawing Competition 'The elderly tell, the young dream'


The drawings of the 50 finalists of the drawing competition, organized by the Flemish Olympiad Association (VOV) in partnership with the French-speaking Olympiad Association (Francolympiades), under the theme 'The elderly tell, the young dream' will be showcased in a special exhibition area of the Federation of Active Associations (Fedactio) in Brussels.

Exhibition of 2/3 to 31/3 - Paleizenstraat 27, Brussels, + 32 71 31 12 12 - Monday to Friday from 13 to 17 pm on Saturdays and Sundays and only open by appointment.

Theme "Older people tell, youngsters dream"
Today's youth and the elderly also suffer from prejudice and often base their perception on prejudices that are not consistent with reality. With this in mind, the theme "The elderly tell, the young dream" was selected for the fourth edition of the drawing contest. Children and seniors  were encouraged to meet, get to know each other better, and understand each other. Afterwards, the young people could create their drawings about their encounter and exchange with the seniors.

50 finalists
This year , over 1,000 children from the second and third grade primary school participated in the fourth edition of the drawing competition "Art of Living Together".  Children from across Belgium sent their drawings on intergenerational dialogue. After a long selection process in each province, 50 finalists were finally selected.

Winners
At the national finals, the three winners were determined by an independent jury:
The winner of the first prize was Sarah Haddad.
The winner of the second prize was Maysa Chairi
The winner of the third prize was Nele Van Baelen

About VOV
The Flemish Olympiad Association has started with the premise that "every child is talented." However, not every child has the opportunity and chance to discover his or her talents. VOV has a main objective to find the hidden talents of our young people through various initiatives. And young people get a chance to discover themselves in a playful and competitive way. VOV is a member organization of Fedactio.

The winner of our second Drawing Contest is Marc Rattat

The second edition of our drawing contest, 'Art of Living Together' was announced to all primary schools of the country a few months ago. We asked year 5 and year 6 students to draw 'citizenship' as they see it.

This contest is organised by Francolympiads in partnership with VOV. It’s a great occasion to work together, both French-speaking and Dutch-speaking people, as drawings have no specific language; they convey universal messages.

First, the contest has been undertaken on a regional contest, in 5 regions, and then on a national level. The jury members were all artists and painters, and some of them were MP’s related to the culture and art fields.

Then, 10 laureates from each region had their drawings displayed in the exhibition at the Ecole des Etoiles, also a member association of Fedactio.

The first five laureates were Marc Rattat, Maxime Van Assell, Camille Combel and Aisling Miller. However, the jury members agreed that all participants won this contest by presenting creative drawings, therefore each student received a present. The first laureates received respectively a family-trip, a multimedia gift-card of a value of 80€ and family tickets for a ride park.

Our member associations plan to repeat this successful contest every year with a variety of themes.
