DEWSBURY is the latest stop for an exhibition of children's artwork that highlights the similarities and differences in the lives of children around the world.
'Same Difference' began in Edinburgh in 2005 with an arts workshop that invited children to decorate a postcard with a picture to share with children around the world.
All the postcards then travelled to Bolivia, Brazil, Mali, Burkina Faso and Palestine where other children added their own postcards to the expanding exhibition.
Now visitors to Dewsbury Library can learn about the aspirations of children around the world through the exhibition of hundreds of postcards and photographs of the children who made them.
The art project, run by overseas development charity International Service, is led by award winning art educator Ross Georgeson and is supported by Kirsten O'Brien from CBBC's SMart.
The free exhibition has been touring the UK since March 2007 and will be at the library on Railway Street until Friday, February 29.
