Nepal Internet Foundation is going to organize an Art workshop to inspire more empowerment and creativity in children.
Organizers said that the workshop was held at Utpala Cafe at Boudha, Kathmandu on Saturday, the 6th of Jestha.
In the workshop, children will showcase their talents using the internet and painting.
Organizers claim that the workshop will be organized with the aim that the Internet is for children, where children can explore their artistic abilities, increase their skills and experience the joy of creating art.
“We aim to provide a positive and nurturing environment where children can express themselves and discover their creative potential,” said Tazanna Shrestha, a volunteer of the Nepal Internet Foundation.
She said that the aim is to empower children through art and education. Also, she has appealed to all media, community leaders, and art lovers to participate in publishing and broadcasting its news.
The safe and free Internet program for Nepal’s orphans, which was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a form of ‘Ek Abhiyan’. According to the organizers, it aims to help bring out the immense talent hidden in children through art and painting and to improve the digital divide through the use of the internet. The Internet has been provided by World Link Communication for this campaign.
Currently, with the help of WorldLink Communication, 21 of the 39 children’s homes in Budhanilkantha Municipality are providing free Internet connection to the children’s homes, the organizer claims that more support is being provided to enhance their talent.
Tomorrow’s workshop will be taught by accomplished artists and mentors to children and will include various art techniques and mediums. The participants and guests of the workshop will have to purchase a ticket worth Rs. 1000. They will have the opportunity to learn and use various forms of artistic expression including painting, drawing, and scratching.
The workshop will conduct interactive sessions where children will share their stories and experiences to inspire a sense of community and togetherness. To participate in painting participants, need to pay Rs. 500 and the organizer said that the painting can be taken home by paying an additional 500 rupees.
Otherwise, the painting will be sold and the earned money will be donated. The proceeds from the sale of the donated painting will be spent on internet access for the children.
