Heart

In the activities that we have created until now we practice and learn the things that connect us to the heart: creativity, love, dance, freedom, artistic expression, kindness and innocence.
We learn how to love.
We learn to be kind.
We learn to speak nice.
We learn to be in integrity. 

Authenticity

In each project, there was this assumption that each child was already a diamond.

Each child has his/her style, and way of being. 

Consequently, in all the projects the teachers observed the essence in each child, and through discernment, reflection, and the methods, they were made aware of their way of being.

They learned how to cultivate creativity. How to express their voice and how to overcome their fears while doing it.

Thinking

In all the activities children were encouraged to think on their own. To think critically, innovative, and responsible.

Children were also encouraged to trust in themselves and their reasoning.

They were also taught how to approach different perspectives in their minds.

They were taught how to be responsible with their words and how to think clearly.

Collaboration

Collaboration was at the core of the activities. After courageously expressing their hearts, children practiced their way of thinking and expressed it authentically. The greatest joy came when they could share their opinions and their ideas.

Transparent and honest communication was encouraged.

They learned how to listen.

They learned how to ask and offer help.

They learned about teamwork.
