Testimonials
Raising awareness among students about the inclusion of people with disabilities is the foundation for changing the culture of the new generation towards diversity. If you want to change the world, start with children. This specific program constituted the first but most significant step towards awakening the local community and, consequently, the world in general
This journey turned out to be unexpectedly constructive for everyone, both young and old. I believe it changed me as a person! I saw the world through different eyes…
It was an incredible experience for both us and our students, who began to activate on raising awareness of people around them about diversity.
Organizing a competition on the theme of refugee uprooting, as well as utilizing this software to present the school projects with personal testimonies, was an outstanding initiative. Participating schools presented notable projects and gained many benefits, both the students with their families and the educators.
The restructuring of school programs is necessary so as to include similar activities within the school hours.
