Postkarten an die Politik mit Denise Tekol #2
Denise Tekol, Lust auf besser leben gGmbH
The ‘Postcard to Politicians’ is intended to make one thing clear above all: you can help shape the future! Each and every one of us is part of this and has a voice that counts. This voice is expressed as a message in postcard format: whether written, drawn or as a collage; angry, hopeful, quiet or powerful – the main thing is that it’s honest!
