The official part of the event was opened by Ambassador Bedřich Kopecký He presented children with certificates, medals and some keepsakes. The children brought their own works and put them on display The visitors of the exhibition watched a short film about the past and present of the Lidice Memorial. There were some refreshments prepared.
The whole event was covered by national and local mass media - TV channels and press agencies.
In expressing its appreciation, a specialized school from Petropavlovsk (in the north of Kazakhstan) gave the Embassy at Astana a picture and a picture book consisting of children¨s artworks. Speaking with Ambassador, the head teacher of Arts expressed his wish to co-operate with the organizers of the competition in the Czech Republic on setting up an exhibition of awarded children's entries in his town.
