    ‘Grateful’ arrived when Andrew asked an important question…

    Watch week by week

    “For my 2nd-grade class, this became a true discovery. We often teach children to be polite, but this project helped us go much deeper – it taught them not only to say words of gratitude, but to truly feel it.

    I noticed how the atmosphere in the classroom changed: children became more attentive to one another and began to notice small things worth saying “thank you” for. For me personally, it was a reminder that teaching is not only about the curriculum, but above all about creating a space of love, support, and trust”.

    “This project became a true discovery for me. I saw how even simple gratitude practices can transform the classroom atmosphere – children became more attentive, kinder, and more open to one another. They began to notice things they had previously overlooked and express sincere appreciation for them. This is a valuable experience that I would like to continue integrating into my daily teaching practice.”

    W A T C H week by week

    “What I appreciated most was that the methodology is both accessible and meaningful. The children enjoyed completing the activities, especially those related to expressing gratitude and reflection. I observed real changes in their behavior – they became calmer, more attentive, and more considerate of others.”

    Together with 'Grateful' we explore everyday moments that all children face and have to figure out…

    On this journey, m

    On this journey, most of us still have moments when we feel shy, don’t know how to be, or what to do or say. Before you react, catch the moment and
    give yourself a hug / a gift.
    Take a calming PEACE 1st Breath.

    NOW… look for small good things
    that are working.

    Gratitude is the language spoken by the heart, and your project helped my students speak it with greater confidence. There is now more light in our classroom, and more kindness in the children’s hearts. Thank you for the valuable methods, inspiration, and this incredible journey!
    Svitlana Petrovna Chernysh Grade 2

    “For me, this was not only a professional but also a deeply personal experience. I became more attentive to the emotional state of the children, their needs, as well as my own feelings during interactions. The project helped build a deeper connection with the class and create a safe space where children can truly be themselves.”

    Nataliia Kreposna 1st grade

    The goal is achieved. It was important to bring to children’s attention the responsibility and perception of each other as a whole PEACEFUL part of the planet Earth.

    Lina Pavlova

    The goal is achieved. The children joined the project with great interest. Each time, they waited with great interest for the tasks for the current Week, offered their interesting ways to working during the week and highlighting interesting moments. Parents were happy to get involved in tasks and help their children.

    Participation in the project in the period of distance learning gave the opportunity to unite students around common ideas that motivate and encourage activity that make you think about the problems of peace, responsibility, harmony, creativity, future. I believe that for the 11th grade participation in the “Jump Start” project will be a kind of starting point in the adult and conscious life, when you can analyze your actions, find harmony in yourself and in the world, when you understand what it means to take responsibility and not being afraid of it.

      I discovered something new for myself. This project helped me grow professionally, I didn`t only teach children. It was complete interaction and mutual understanding. I tried many new techniques during the project and was surprised by the performance and the results. I am extremely happy that this year we became participants in your project. Thank you

    • Inna Lytvyn

      Yes. The children became friendlier, calmer in the perception of others and themselves. They understood that it is necessary to dream, imagine and go towards the goal. That’s why I think the “Mission” is completed.

    • Mariia Gorbatova

      I saw how inspired students can be when they are interested in something, what bright ideas are born in them. My students and I both discovered ourselves in different ways. It helps to grow as a person. My goal was to teach students more than just English by the textbook, but to teach them to believe in themselves and go towards their goal, to understand that the world is always open to interaction.

    • Larysa Sidenko

      Thanks to the project, occurred the process of forming a team in the classroom, students worked together, learned to think, analyze, search for information, take into account the opinion of others and respect it.
