Content of the project
Today, when the peoples of the world are faced with the task of agreeing on common basic values, the Eurasia International Caricature Contest on the theme “Hello, Neighbor!” will become a universal negotiating platform, since a “drawn” thought does not require translation. The competition will clearly demonstrate that people in different countries are worried about the same problems. And humor in graphic works is both an excellent translator and a cure for many diseases, including social and political ones.
