What a truly wonderful outcome for everyone … the Hexagon Project … gives voice to so many children and young people to speak out for protection of our world. As Joy Palmer notes, “education is about healing and wholeness. It is about empowerment, liberation, transcendence, about renewing the vitality of life and importantly it is about finding and claiming our place in the world” … the Hexagon Project takes all who participate into this space.

Regardless of our interests and our different opinions we all search for the same things — Peace, Force, Love and safe life. Thank you for this encouragement that gives my students a strong motivation to develop their thinking and their call for peace.

I am very happy that I collaborated with you. My students had the opportunity to realize how powerful is art to send a message. The Hexagon Project makes young people gain their hope that their voices matter. Thank you for giving the opportunity to grow and be a better person and teacher through collaboration and visualizing a better world.
