This short video was made by the 8th grade students of elementary school Borovje in Zagreb, Croatia.
Twenty students are included in making the video. Among them seven students are religious minority, five of them foreign citizens, born in a different country or having one of the parents foreigners (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Jordan, Austria). Five other students are having developmental difficulties.
During eight years of elementary education children and profesionals in school expirienced lot of challenges and tried to reinforce the feeling of belonging and mutual understanding. They tried to send clear message that we all have a place in this society and that our differences are indeed our strenghts.
The concept of the video is a result of student's ideas. Their headteacher, Mr. Tihomir Hojsak, asked them how they could introduce themselves.
Check out what they came up with.
