At the International School of Dakar, Madina Djinadou and Shamar Fladger were commended for their talent and commitment.
The artist, Dr Momar Seck, aimed to raise students' awareness of the creative process by using the inspiring example of CHU Teh-Chun, who has succeeded in harmoniously integrating both artistic techniques and the cultures of his native and his adopted country into his work. The aim was to show students how they can express themselves artistically while reflecting their own cultural identity.

At the International School of Geneva, Noah Phillipp won the second edition of the CHU Teh-Chun prize, entitling him to a week's residency at the Cittadelarte, a foundation created by the artist Michelangelo Pistoleto.
Two other students, Lubin Heurteux and Jeanne Rolland were also distinguished for the quality of their work and their commitment, and will have the opportunity to work with Artmyn.
In addition, 10 other students received a special mention from the jury for their outstanding participation. The competition, organised by Professor Hubert Schneebli, attracted more than 40 students eager to take part.
After studying CHU Teh-Chun's artistic universe, the students were invited to create a work of their own, expressing their creativity and their understanding of the artist.
