Within the HerStory project, artists and participants came together to create a mural dedicated to Maria Montessori, celebrating the importance of women’s contributions to history, education, and art

Created during the Mon-Tesori Spring Art Fest, the event transformed the school courtyard into a vibrant space of creativity, dialogue, music, and collective expression. Alongside the mural painting, visitors had the opportunity to explore stories of inspiring women and reflect on the importance of gender equality in the arts

Beyond Borders Italy from Italy, together with Club for Youth Empowerment 018 from Serbia, Dream Colors z.s. from Czech Republic, Obojena Klapa from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Danish Youth Team from Denmark implements the project “HERstory” by utilizing creative methods and art, specifically murals in raising awareness and visibility of significant female figures thus promoting importance of gender equality in partner countries.
