展览预告丨丝路“童”行 共绘未来——“友城绘”国际青少年绘画展十周年

“友城绘”国际青少年绘画展，自2016年扬帆起航，已走过十个春秋。这是由江苏省外办、省政府新闻办、省文旅厅、省教育厅、省广电总台共同打造的国际青少年文化交流品牌。十年来，活动覆盖全球50余个国家、100余座友好城市，征集超30万幅画作，吸引20余万中外青少年执笔绘梦。每一幅作品，都是一颗童心的真诚表达；每一次展出，都是一次跨越山海的握手。“友城绘”已成为江苏对外文化交流的“金名片”，让世界看见中国青少年的创意与友好，也让江苏的孩子感知多元文化的斑斓。

值此十周年之际，我们将活动的重启之地选在连云港——这座“一带一路”交汇点城市、新亚欧大陆桥的东方桥头堡。连云港连接东西、贯通陆海，既是江苏对接中亚国家的重要门户，也是中外文明互鉴的天然纽带。在这里举办十周年精品展，既是对过去辉煌历程的致敬，更是一次面向未来的战略启航。我们希望以“友城绘”为纽带，深化与中亚及“一带一路”沿线国家青少年的人文交流，推动文化从“走出去”迈向“深融合”，在服务国家对外开放大局中，展现江苏的新担当、新作为。

画笔虽小，能绘天地；童心无界，可越山海。下一个十年，“友城绘”将继续搭建跨越国界的友谊之桥，打造“一带一路”人文交流的标杆品牌。我们诚挚邀请世界各地的青少年朋友们：拿起你的画笔，画出你的家乡、你的梦想、你眼中的未来。无论你来自哪座城市、说着哪种语言，你的色彩都会被看见，你的声音都会被倾听。让我们相约“友城绘”，共绘一个更加美好、更加相通的世界！

Foreword

Launched in 2016, the “Painting Friendship Cities” International Youth Painting Exhibition has grown into a flagship cultural exchange brand in Jiangsu Province, jointly organized by the Foreign Affairs Office of Jiangsu, the Information Office of Jiangsu Provincial Government, the Department of Culture and Tourism, the Department of Education, and the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation. Over the past ten years, the event has reached more than 50 countries and over 100 sister cities, collecting over 300,000 paintings and engaging more than 200,000 young artists. Each piece of art is a sincere expression of a child’s heart, and each exhibition is a warm handshake across mountains and oceans. “Painting Friendship Cities” has become a golden name card for Jiangsu’s international cultural exchanges, allowing the world to see the creativity and friendliness of Chinese youth, while enabling children in Jiangsu to experience the richness of global cultures.

As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we have chosen Lianyungang as the new departure point. Located at the intersection of the Belt and Road Initiative and known as the eastern bridgehead of the New Eurasian Land Bridge, Lianyungang connects East with West, and land with sea. It serves as a vital gateway between Jiangsu and Central Asian countries, making it a natural hub for cross-cultural dialogue. Holding our anniversary exhibition here is not only a tribute to the past decade, but also a strategic leap toward the future. Through “Painting Friendship Cities”, we aim to deepen people-to-people bonds with Central Asian countries and other Belt and Road nations, transforming cultural “going out” into deeper integration, and demonstrating Jiangsu’s renewed commitment to the nation’s broader opening‑up strategy.

A small brush can capture the vast world; a child’s heart knows no borders. In the next decade, “Painting Friendship Cities” will continue to build bridges of friendship across nations and establish itself as a benchmark brand for Belt and Road cultural exchange among youth. We warmly invite young friends from around the world: pick up your paintbrush and show us your hometown, your dreams, and the future you envision. No matter which city you come from or what language you speak, your colors will be seen, and your voice will be heard. Join us at “Painting Friendship Cities” and together, let’s create a more beautiful and connected world!
