ThemeMessage
United thoughts toshare with the world

The lives under water
Let’s save the oceans for a better future.
The mural depicts the contrasting pictures of lives of sea creatures under different
circumstances. There is a circle of men and women who stand hand in hand at the centerof the mural. Outside the circle, it is shown that the life is miserable due to polluting
trash, some creatures are even shown dead. Inside the circle, however, the underwater
life is depicted as very lively and beautiful. All creatures live healthily and happily inside
the circle. In short, the message that can be concluded is that we can save the life
underwater if we work hand in hand.

The students wanted toconvey to the world throughtheir drawings was that"humans have polluted theenvironment,but
onlyhumans can protect it. So
we agree to draw an icon in
the middle of the image ofpeople who look like they areholding hands. We would liketo use the 17 colors of
SDGS as the colors of thosepeople.
Japanese students started
the painting by drawing theoutside part, then they sentthe mural to Indonesia so we
could draw the inside part
before sending it back toJapan.
Both schools write in theforum what they haveachieved
through
thisproject.

My students became more excited andtried to learn about the 17 colourse ofSDGs.
