What Children Want

This mural was created by a school class with many refugee students (hence the German is not perfect).

On this part the children wrote their wishes:

“Children should not fight in wars but go to school.” “I don’t like it when children are fighting amongst each other.” “All children should have a home.” “For me it’s most important to play with friends.” ” I wish for all children to be protected.”

The little replica glass is called a Dubbeglas which is typical for the Palatium. They drink their wine in half litre glasses that have grooves so they don’t slip through their fingers when they eat something fatty at the same time.
