What People Think
Grades 4 and 6, Alizava school, Lithuania: Many thanks for a great opportunity! I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to participate in it. Due to this project, our school social education for Grades 4 and 6 in the first half of this (2022/23) academic year was unusually rich.
Grade 5, Alizava school, Lithuania: Suggested curricula activities broadened the students’ horizons about other nations. Lessons took place in non-traditional settings. Overall, the Curricula created opportunities for children’s creative abilities to unfold
Grade 1, Alizava school, Lithuania: I am glad that I had the opportunity to participate in this project with the students. We were enriched with new knowledge, we had various challenges, we became more caring, more honest.
On behalf of all the students and volunteers at EEFY NGO, I would like to say a Big Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You do a great job and I wish you the best.
If today the world is going backwards with all the crises, it is the lack of compassion because to express kindness, you must have compassion.
Your programs and projects are greatly appreciated by our students, and they had had an impact on them. Now they behave like children from the same family both in and out of school. They help each other. For example, one of my students gave clothes that no longer fit her to another girl. When I asked her why she did that, she told me that she learned through the drawings during one of the classes of your curricula that we must have love for our neighbors.
I can only wish to see that all your curricula materials are taught in preschool, primary and secondary schools across the entire world one day.
We are extremely glad to have been part of this project. In addition to improving our relationships with each other, the bonds between students and between students and school staff have strengthened. We connected more with the local community and achieved cooperation with a kindergarten and a retirement home. In this project, we started to develop some ideas for the future and formed a new project to reduce food waste. We reminded the students of the importance of caring for others, making others happy, caring for the elderly, the environment, nature, and animals. We also raised awareness of the importance of national heroes, and we took care of people in crisis, especially children from Ukraine. We raised the level of humanity in our school, thank you for that.
This has been a great experience for myself and my students, and we will look for ways to continue down this road. Thank you for including me in your project!
Kindness is strength, kindness is resilience, and in a difficult world, kindness is required. My daughter Annabel and I focus on those principles while working on our video projects for Kindness-related showcase events. It's been a lot of fun, and Annabel has gained confidence from seeing and feeling her work valued and recognized. Thank you, Tatyana, and many thanks to all the organizers for the opportunity to participate in your important work!
