The SDG11: Nature in our beautiful cities
Global warming: Let’s think together about a better life in our cities

United thoughts toshare with the world

The mural reflects our concerns about our future lives in our cities. Because of the different threats
triggered by global warming, we started to think about how precious it the water in our cities.
We wanted to put a forest as a common element between the pounds in the parks of Nanterre and theShika in the park of Nara. We painted a lot of birds, insects and small flowers.
Because I got sick with covid, we did not have enough time to paint small children- I wanted, but I was not
given the time. We were very happy with the nice painting of the Japanese girl.

We do our best, but we start only in September, it takes time to have acomplete team working force within one month.

Our headmaster helped us
Hyacinthe from the city gave us a huge hand and helped to create thepattern of the small flowers
