Knife Angel Bradford & Anti Violence Month - Primary Schools Art Competition – Design a Superhero for Peace!
Children can win a £75, £50 & £25 shopping voucher plus an art hamper
In April 2023, Bradford will be hosting the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression (also known as the Knife Angel). The sculpture will be placed in City Park and would make a fantastic opportunity for a school trip.
The giant angel shaped sculpture is designed to help us think about peace, friendships, kindness and forgiveness as ways to work against people being unkind to each other.
As part of the month long visit to Bradford, the Youth Justice Service would like to display artwork from children across the district in the City Library and so we would like to invite primary schools to take part in a competition to design a Superhero
for Peace.
The superheroes can take any form they like; perhaps thinking about what they might wear and what accessories they might have, or what words they might use and maybe even what they might give out to people as they travel around helping everyone to be at
peace with each other through friendship and kindness.
We hope your school will support this huge project by promoting this competition. There are 35 Partners involved (Such as West Yorkshire Police, the Probation Service, Safer Communities, Education & NHS) across the district all working together to help make
April and impactful Anti Violence Month in Bradford.
