(Photo: hanoitv.vn) The Mitsubishi Asian Children’s Enikki Festa invites children in Asia to create illustrated diaries (Enikki) that portray daily events and thoughts in the form of a picture and a short essay. The goal of the Festa is to use Enikki as a very effective means to promote cross-cultural understanding of each other’s lives and cultures and, eventually, to work for the promotion of cultural exchange among children of Asia.
This time, Enikki’s theme is “Here Is My Life.” Children are invited to paint and write anything in their daily lives that they have done, seen or felt, such as festivals, favorite pastimes, families and friends or something that happened at school, in order to introduce their daily lives and cultures to other children throughout Asia.
