Letters to kids in other countries

Drawing and wearing the Tshirts of Goodness

Positive words

The magical words that make us smile and disperse negative clouds. 🌈

The magic of being kind and polite:

Thank you, please, you’re welcome, I’m glad you exist, get well soon, enjoy your meal...

With the power of words, we warm hearts and spread light around us with kind wishes.

We also conducted a “water experiment.” 💧

We placed rice and water in two jars — we spoke kind words to one and negative words to the other.

The jar that received negative words began to smell bad, while the one that heard positive words smelled nice. 🌸

Through this experiment, we observed the tangible power of words and their effect on our emotions and environment. ✨

We place the box in a corner where the child goes to calm down from his anger.

💬 Their drawings show they feel anxious or afraid when:

• they have exams 📝

• they watch news about wars ☁️

• they see lonely people 🏙️

• they get injections 💉

• they feel alone 😔

Cuvintele au o putere nebanuită, care pot face multe: pot să unească oamenii, pot să despartă oameni, pot schimba situaţii, pot împăca sau pot răni. Cuvintele au atribuite valori diferite, de exemplu, anumite cuvinte pot fi simple pentru anumiţi oameni, în timp ce pentru alţii au o deosebită valoare.
       Toate cuvintele sunt importante, au rolul lor, dar unele dintre ele, în anumite momente cheie, sunt esenţiale.
      Aceste 5 cuvinte importante, care apropie copiii, îi împacă, îi fac pe copii să se simtă apreciaţi, îi fac valoroşi, le rezolvă problemele sau schimbă situaţii în bine.
        Aceste cuvinte sunt: TE IUBESC, TE ROG, MULŢUMESC, IARTĂ-MĂ, AM ÎNCREDERE!

We talked about joy, sadness, fear, courage, love and trust, learning that all emotions are important and help us get to know each other better. 💖 It was an activity full of sincerity, color and smiles!

And just as a flower spreads a pleasant fragrance, the message spreads kind words, making their little hearts bloom and nurturing love and peace among them.

Children recognize emotions, communicate what they feel and learn to manage them

All our students worked on the same template, but each artwork was unique. Because every child is different. Every heart feels differently. Every mind thinks differently.

Through this activity, we talked about:

🤝 Empathy

💛 Kindness

🌿 Respect

The same template, different touches…

Our students painted the same wooden fish template using their own imaginations, colors, and patterns.

Each one walks the same path, but with their own colors and unique traces.

This activity shows the richness of individual differences, creativity, and how we can reach a common goal with different steps.

🎨 The same template

🌈 Different colors

💙 Shared values

This collaboration with our project group has become one of the best examples of unity in diversity and teamwork.

Our students are growing a tree of empathy, love, and respect.

Each heart represents a unique voice walking towards the same goal. ❤️🌳

This artwork is the final collaborative product of our project, created with unity, inclusivity, and shared values.

We thank all our partners and students for walking this path together. 💫

Every child is unique, like a flower in a garden, each with its own colors, shape, and way of blooming.

Title: The Crack and the Cure: Healing the World with Rights 🩹✨

Our Concept

In our class, we looked at the world through its "cracks." Whenever a child is deprived of school, food, or safety, a crack is formed in our society. But for every Crack, there is a Cure: Children's Rights!

Matching Activity: Problems vs. Solutions

Our students became "Human Rights Doctors" and identified the cures:

• The Crack (The Problem): Children who have never been to school.

  • The Cure (The Right): Education. Every child has the right to learn and grow! 📚

• The Crack (The Problem): Children without a home, food, or water.

  • The Cure (The Right): Survival. Every child deserves a safe home and healthy food. 🏠🍎

• The Crack (The Problem): Child Labor. Adults forcing children to work.

  • The Cure (The Right): Protection. No child should work; every child has the right to play and be safe. 🛡️⚽

Our Message: We don't just see the problems; we use our Rights to fix them. A world without cracks is a world where every child is respected!

Then we shared this message with the children:

“Just like these seeds, we are all different. Some of us run fast, some draw beautiful pictures, and some are great friends. We all have different qualities, and that makes us special.”

By observing how the seeds grow and turn into plants, we saw that each one develops at its own pace. During this process, we learned to be patient and to love nature.

We also explained that each seed grows into a different type of food, and all of them are very beneficial for our bodies. Just like people, even though they are different, they are all valuable.

Through this activity, children learned to:

Respect differences

Recognize their own unique qualities

Observe and appreciate nature

Identify healthy foods 🌱

In this activity, students created paper dolls and designed different clothes and expressions to represent various emotional states such as worry, sadness, anger, and happiness. Each student personalized their doll to reflect different “strong emotion” moments they might experience in daily life.

After creating their characters, students worked in small groups to act out short role-play scenarios showing situations where the dolls feel worried or stressed. They then discussed and demonstrated positive coping strategies such as deep breathing, talking to a friend or teacher, taking a short break, and using calming thoughts.

Through this activity, students learned that mistakes and negative emotions are a natural part of life, and they explored practical ways to transform worry into calm and confidence. The activity also supported empathy, communication, and emotional awareness in a creative and engaging way.

Through these activities, students not only developed their cultural awareness but also improved their research, creativity, and presentation skills. The exhibitions helped students understand that every country has unique features, while also encouraging curiosity and respect for different cultures.

"Hold my hand"

"You make me smile"

"You're not alone"

They read the situation and the emotion aloud.

They answer the question:

"How do you behave when you are...?"

The other players can add how they would behave or suggest ways to manage the emotion.

Each student completes the concept map by answering the six questions. Then, working in pairs or small groups, students share their answers and discover similarities and differences among themselves. Finally, the teacher leads a discussion on the fact that every person is unique and that the differences between us contribute to the diversity and richness of the group.

Activity Goal: To foster self-awareness, respect for diversity, and positive relationships among classmates.
