World Habitat Day Special Art Project
Think about where you live and the places around you, who has helped you recently? Perhaps your teacher, neighbour, carer or doctor? In this challenging time of COVID-19, many people are working hard to protect our lives. At UN-Habitat we are supporting people’s efforts around the world to make our cities and towns better places to live.
For World Habitat Day 2020, we wanted you to express “Thank You” to the people that help you most in your community through drawing, painting or sketching whatever you feel.
We received many drawaings with "Thank You" messages.
You can read the message of the person who drew the work by clicking the image.
“2021 Habitat Calendar” featuring the selected drawings from the World Habitat Day Special Art Project is now available to download.
