Art for the Earth: Young People in Donegal Paint Murals to Inspire Action and Hope

Young people from three Donegal towns have designed murals to raise public awareness about the global climate crisis.
Devised and delivered by Children in Crossfire - a Derry-based charity whose Global Citizenship Education programme runs across Ireland - this project has created a platform - via public murals - for young people to have their say on the critical issue of their time.

Children in Crossfire, founded in 1996 by Richard Moore, responds to the rights and needs of children and young people caught in the crossfire of global poverty, injustice and inequality.
In 1972, as a 10-year-old boy, Richard was blinded by a rubber bullet fired by a British soldier during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Amazingly from childhood to the present day, he has accepted the loss of his sight without any feelings of anger, bitterness or resentment.
In describing his remarkable acceptance of what, for most, would be a debilitating trauma, he says:
“I learned to see life in a different way, I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision”.
The story of Children in Crossfire, therefore, has its roots in what began as a tragedy and ended as a triumph of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Just as Richard practised compassion in the face of challenge, Children in Crossfire pursues its vision through and with that same compassion.
