Students’ reflections: This project made me more aware of how important it is to promote the right values in school. Sometimes we’ re so focused on exams and deadlines that we forget what education should be about: empathy, curiosity, collaboration.“ Roots and Rights” reminded me of that. It created a space where students could be themselves, express their thoughts, and feel heard not just by teachers, but by peers from different parts of Europe.( Paula C.)
What truly deepened our understanding was the international collaboration. Interacting with students from Spain, Romania, Ukraine, and Turkey allowed us to see how rights and responsibilities are understood in different cultural contexts. The games and activities we received from our international peers were not only creative but also opened our eyes to different perspectives.
