As every year, a network of schools was created at the beginning of the school year with the aim of our students working on issues related to human rights and the acceptance of diversity in all its forms. Children work on empathy, acceptance of others, understanding the right to equal opportunities for all. Theater techniques, experiential workshops, teaching visits, discussions, creative writing, etc. are used.

At the same time, during the same period, the teachers participate in regular training, coordination and information meetings, so that there is common cooperation and mutual support. The culmination of this process is the meeting of all in a big festival at the end of the school year, which, with the support of a large number of city agencies, aims to spread this work both in the school and in the wider community.
