From Students

I liked that we were able to have a say in many things.

The theatre performances helped me understand the topics better – I can now empathise with others more easily.

The honest discussion about difficult topics was very valuable.

In the final game, everyone helped each other – it really strengthened our sense of community as a class.

From Teachers/Educators

The project encouraged children to reflect on their own behaviour and make more conscious decisions.

The project days were open, supportive, and highly empathetic. Even more reserved children felt encouraged to share their opinions.

It was impressive to see how actively the students participated and how thoughtfully they reflected on difficult topics.

From Daycare Educators

The puppets responded to all of the children’s ideas in a very appreciative way. They never ran out of questions!

The children learned to be aware of their rights and to remind one another of them.

I noticed greater attentiveness within the group – the children were very enthusiastic and kept talking about it afterwards.
