Butterflies Project – B’nai B’rith Uruguay

The Butterflies Project promotes the rights of children and adolescents through a concrete action in the arts. In addition to teaching children the mosaic technique, its main goal is to spread art as a vehicle for integration and inclusion. The project consists of the artistic intervention of murals in public schools in vulnerable contexts, involving the entire local educational community. All participants create butterflies using any artistic technique and later place them on the mural, fostering collaborative work. Inspired by lessons from the Shoah (Jewish Holocaust), the project educates about tolerance and the dangers of human fragility, preserving the memory of the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered, ensuring that no act of discrimination against any group is ever repeated.
