Description
With this project we would like to fight against the exclusion and prejudice which hits the homeless people in Hungary, using the positive influence of art. Throughout the project, a firewall in Budapest is going to be painted, and become the „Wall of Tolerance” which name is refers to the method of implementation too, because homeless artist and non-homeless street artists work together on painting. The project is primarily aimed at people who are homeless, but the positive communication can change the attitude, the approach of the whole society. The project would be implemented in collaboration with Shelter Foundation which is one of the largest NGOs in Budapest, working for homeless people. The completed project is a positive example to those individuals and communities who would rather make friends than enemies all around. To be popular and to be in the common talk helps and amends the professional, specialized associations works.
