Radijojo has been organizing international drawing competitions for already five years. The 2019 topics were the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, among them:

• end poverty in all its forms everywhere,
• ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all,
• achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls,
• take urgent action to combat climate change,
• conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
• protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems
• and strong global partnerships and cooperation to reach the goals by 2030.

Children between 10 and 15 years from India, Egypt, Senegal and Germany sent us their contributions.

Students of Papageno primary school in Berlin selected the best pictures. Important criterions considered by the jury in taking its decisions were not only the beauty of the drawing, but also how well the global goals were presented.
