Important for me was the fact that often during the school process, they often referred back to the curriculum and values to manage tensions with each other or with other classmates. Through this type of experiential learning, the children adopted values that lay the foundation for the proper formation and enhancement of their personalities.

This programme, both in the design and in the implementation of the activities of each "value", aimed to activate the emotion of the group so that its members could think, feel and experience the values in an environment of relaxation, acceptance and safety.

It was very pleasant. They were looking forward to it with anticipation and joy. They were curious and asked each time, "What value, madam, are we going to talk about today?"

With a variety of experiential activities we experienced the experience of each value through narratives, discussions, events, songs, games and expressed ourselves creatively through painting, dance, theatre or writing texts, poems and stories.

Structured educational workshops give tools to the teacher to help students acquire knowledge and skills, creating in the classroom a climate of acceptance, equality, democracy, teamwork, equal opportunities. In this environment, no pupil is 'left on the sidelines'.

The benefits are many and significant. Both for me, on a personal level, and for the school, children and teachers. It has been a journey of difficulties, challenges, small and great joys that has finally led to the much desired goal: the creation of a truly safer school.

Children learned to speak up more when something is bothering them, to classmates, teachers, parents. Verbal violence has been greatly reduced, they have learned to look at the person next to them, to cooperate better when asked, to apologize, to admit that they are to blame, to their fair share... I think it was a unique gift to ourselves.

The workshops of the Programme were a pleasant change from the daily routine of the classes. The children looked forward to the next workshop each time. The activities were designed to help each child understand and realize how special both they and the other children in the group are.

My experience at the Elpida Prevention Centre was unique. We worked with many groups and dealt with a variety of areas. One of the memorable moments was the activity with parents and children, where we met and shared our feelings. My cooperation with the staff of the Centre was excellent

Your contribution to the seminar was very important. What you shared was very helpful to the participants and can be applied to everyday teaching.
