SUPERHEROES through movement, collaboration, friendship - Nr.1 Secondary School, Rm. Sărat, Buzău

The pupils identified a frequent problem encountered in schools in Romania, especially in our school. It’s about the right to equality, giving pupils with special needs same rights as everyone else and the importance of sport.

The children identified the causes and looked for solutions to lower the impact on each one of the people affected. They thought of carrying out a campaign through which to sensitise their class and school mates.

A story of change facilitated by Mrs Georgian-Elisabeta Baciu.
