In 2014 SOICS began its greeting card project. The focus behind the project is to keep it as a fun, creative and child-centered activity.
The participating students, first or second-generation immigrants, are encouraged to represent their artistic passion by showcasing their colouring techniques and sharing their ideas of celebrating winter in their home countries or in a multi-cultural context.
The greeting cards are professionally printed and customized with the young artists’ names, grade and the title of their artwork. We then share these season’s greetings cards with all of our community partners.
