Annual Report 2006 (Please click here to download full report)

Art in All of Us (AiA), a not-for-profit corporation promoting creativity, artistic activities and exchanges among children throughout the world, has lived in 2006 a very important and successful year in the achievement of its international projects. AiA has indeed reached important milestones in 2006: not only has AiA been constituted as a not-for-profit corporation in Belgium (AiA asbl – association sans but lucratif), but AiA also organized its artistic workshops in about a hundred schools, in approximately 60 countries over the 5 continents!

All the children who have taken part to AiA workshops in 2006 have been given the opportunity to create works and express themselves in various areas (from photography to drawings and poetry). They could also show their interest in other cultures and learn from them, thanks to our photo-conferences. Some of these children were included in our new international “AiA Pen Pal Program”, and have communicated directly with other children from other countries and cultures.

The design of our draft book which will present all the countries of the world seen through the eyes and rimes of children is also at a very advanced stage; we have indeed already printed a first sketch involving 30 countries, trying various patterns of designs, and have already processed the information gathered in about 50 countries.

To achieve all these steps, AiA has worked throughout the year with international organizations (UNICEF, SOS Children’s Villages, Maison des Enfants du Monde, Fundación America), and some more local-based organizations (see full list in Annex). Such successful cooperation has allowed us to benefit from their know-how in the areas of children protection and education at both international and national levels.

A broad network of volunteers, coming from about 30 different countries, also offered a wide range of competences to AiA: fundraising, communication, poetry translation, organization of our activities in their country/region etc.

Regarding the financial aspects, AiA organized its activities thanks to donations received from firms, individual contributors and some very creative fundraising ideas from other individuals sensitive to our mission. Leaning on an important and diversified stock of 80,000 photographs and 4,000 drawings and poetries, AiA has organized many exhibitions and informed an international public on its projects.

On the technological side, AiA is getting an ever more important visibility on the Internet (and an increased number of visitors) thanks to marketing on highly ranked websites related to art, youth and education (e.g: UNICEF, Taking it Global, deviantArt…).
