This Action Without Borders is aimed at sensitizing the general public into welcoming and including people affected by intellectual disabilities. The challenge is simple: to gather more than 1001 drawings on this theme before the celebration of the International Day of Disabled Persons, December 3, 2008.

In Canada, L’Arche is the lead partner in this initiative. This is an important opportunity for each community of L’Arche to increase its visibility in its own region according to its membership. We'll gradually send all the tools required to orchestrate a mini communication campaign for the organization of this participatory event.

Call for photos

For the very short term, we urgently need photos illustrating the daily life of those welcomed by L’Arche. To put a positive note and a sense of holiday on this project, enjoy summer while taking outside pictures and send them to us. The photos will not be published. Only trace drawings created from the photos will be distributed. See example above

Please send your photos to the following address: 1001drawings@voicesandcolours.org
We pledge to treat your photos and the images of people in the photos with the greatest respect.

Stay online, we'll give you very soon all the details on the 1001 Drawings Action!
