June 7 is declared as Day of Painting in Armenia. The initiative aims at drawing public attention to environmental problems.

1000 children from different regions of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh will participate in the event to be organized in Yerevan. The children will paint pictures on tables, depicting the nature of their dreams. The tables will then be returned to schools and kindergartens, to remind children about the beauty of nature and the importance of conserving it.

The function was organized RA Wildlife and Cultural Heritage Preservation Fund in cooperation with Viva-Cell MTS.
