"As you journey through the pages of your notebook, you will collect the views of different people and you will think about how progress can improve people's lives while respecting the natural balance of our fragile planet.
By observing the world around you, you will discover projects that will strike you as being truly beneficial. You will also have the chance to dream up your own project, something that would be a real improvement, and to explain it to children from all around the world by sketching it out.
In June, the "Sketches around the World" exhibition - full of ideas that spell progress and respect for our planet - will start out on its world tour. Every step, big or small, taken by young and less young citizens of the world is a step forward in preparing our future. So I invite you to grab your pens and pencils, and wish you the best of luck!"
