***
We all enjoyed our time spent together playing, drawing, watching short films, listening to stories and getting engrossed in interesting discussions in class, online or the schoolyard.
Everybody was present and actively participated: the children talked, listened and learned from one another about the richness they can find in diversity, feelings or the time spent together. They learned about the patience to listen, the power of words and of the beautiful gestures.
They realised how well they feel when their classmates are near them to support and help: One for all and all for one has become their motto. They realised how different they are and how wonderful each of them is in their own way. Each of them has a superpower which contributes to the wellbeing of the group, to the achievements of the group
We, children and teachers, were just like the fish in the school of fish or the beautifully and diversely coloured leaves which make autumn so unique, or the letters in the postman’s mail bag which are delivered so generously or the colours which only together make a painting.
