‘Say Hello to the World’ is an international project that connects children in kindergartens and schools by video network, where they can see each other live, wave to each other and learn their first foreign words. Much attention is given to learning about different cultures, traditions and ways of living. Children can show each other how they play, what songs they sing, what environment they live in, what food they eat, what language they speak, etc.
The purpose of the project is to motivate children through different interesting activities and thus teach them to loosen stereotypes, prejudices and intolerance to otherwise thinking, to foreigners, to people with special needs, elderly, etc. This will contribute to a greater quality of life, solidarity and respect, especially now, when the world is becoming increasingly open and accessible.
Every school and kindergarten that takes part in the ‘Say Hello to the World’ project and successfully implements the programme will obtain the honorable title ‘A Tolerant Kindergarten’ / ‘A Tolerant School’ that will make the children, parents and the whole professional team very proud. Schools and kindergartens thus show that children are taught tolerance and understanding of diversity in all forms. The “little” and the “big” ones acquire knowledge in the ‘Say Hello to the World’ project that will lead them towards understanding and understanding will lead them towards accepting.
