Brighten Up Communities in Hungary
Use your creative skills to brighten up the walls of a hospital or school
About this project
There are many social institutions in Hungary whose buildings are in quite poor condition.
You can help one of the hospitals or schools with a creative painting initiative to bring joy and inspiration to the attendees.
You will paint mural cartoons or fairy tale heroes to decorate the walls of one of these buildings.
