SILENCE OF THE SHARKS THE CALL OF OUR CHILDREN The SILENCE OF THE SHARKS project is inspired first and foremost by our children and our sincere desire that they get to meet sharks in real rather than just at the cinema.

And so, SILENCE OF THE SHARKS is proud to introduce an exhibition of protest posters created by gifted children from Israel and Germany as part of our protest against shark hunting.

Posters from Cologne, Germany

These drawings were made by 4th grade students at the age of 9-10 from Olympia elementary school, located at North West Cologne. Cologne is one of the 3 largest cities in Germany and the town’s landmark is its famous cathedral, Kölner Dom.During the 4 recent years, these students have participated in an environmental and shark conservation program called Sharkproject. They responded with much enthusiasm when they were offered to contribute to the SILENCE OF THE SHARKS project together with students from Israel by creating artistic posters.

The Children of Cologne: Schian Amini,Jared Bakirel, Sorin Basangeac, Lena Beyerlein, Tobias Borgschulze, Emilia Coblenz, Max Gutowski, Enja Hauprich, Jana Hennemann, Florian Huesch, Manuel Koch, Kerem Koektas, Paula Kuesgen, Batuhan Kuetuek, Noe Sydney Lenza, Leo Raab, Katharina Richter, Nele van de Sand, Luisa Schewe, Jan Hendrik Topoll, Azra Su Yazar

Posters from Eilat, Israel

These drawings were made by gifted 8th and 9th grade students at the age of 14-15 from Eilat, Eilot and Central Arava. During art classes with Oranit Goldstein, they were first introduced with scientific and statistic facts, as well as the intensity of global protests against shark hunting along the history. They then studied the various creative tools made use of in protests worldwide, which served them later on in the process of creating their own banners and ads. Tom Sarir, animation and graphic expert, also assisted these children with producing protest video clips, which can be watched at the SILENCE OF THE SHARKS official website.
