The OSCE launched the #LetsDoodle contest in partnership with eYeka, a global community of talented creators, asking artists to create a cartoon character challenging violent extremism with creativity, imagination and humour. A total of 29 creative concepts from 16 OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation were received in support of the OSCE United in Countering Violent Extremism (#UnitedCVE) communications campaign. Jerome Picard from France won the 4th prize in the #LetsDoodle competition with his 'Thinking positively with Clozz and Opun' concept.

‘Clozz and Opun’ were created by Jerome Picard from France, the fourth #LetsDoodle winner. They sit on a wire and ‘chat’ about everyday life situations.

Clozz often sees things in a negative way, he is wary and sceptic. Opun is careful before he judges and tends to think positively.

“Intelligence, both knowledge and emotional intelligence, is stronger than ignorance. Critical thinking will help overcome violent extremism,” Jerome reminds us.
