Primary Education

In times of polarization, it is more important than ever to listen to each other.

But how do you do that effectively? And how do you express your opinion in a way that encourages others to listen?

In this workshop, children learn listening and debating techniques to better articulate their opinions. They reflect on how everyone’s experiences and background influence their view of the world.

Using a topic of choice, we practice these skills through informational videos and statements that children can agree or disagree with. Can children adjust their opinion based on new information? Do they dare to stick to their authentic viewpoint, even if they are the only one in the class?

Interactive workshops where we discuss important social issues.

First, children learn the basics about the topic through videos, explanations, and exercises. Afterwards, they work independently or in small groups on an assignment. In this task, children actively reflect on the theme and how they personally relate to it. The workshop concludes with a dialogue where children discuss the topic with one another.
