Hi,

My name is Wisdom and I'm going to tell you some stories through which I managed to make the world better together with my friends from the EUROPEAN VALUES eTwinning project,

Wisdom was fifteen, a quiet girl with curious eyes and a notebook always tucked under her arm. Her favorite place in the world was her school’s classroom, where the walls were lined with colorful posters about science, art, and history. But what she loved most was listening to Ms. Corina, her history teacher.

Ms. Corina had a voice that could weave stories so vivid, you felt like you were living them. One crisp autumn morning, the topic was democracy.

"Democracy is not just about voting," Ms. Corina said, pacing in front of the class. "It’s about respect. It’s about listening to each other, standing up for fairness, and building a future where everyone has a voice."

Wisdom felt her chest tighten with a strange mix of inspiration and urgency. She scribbled in her notebook: Fairness. Listening. Standing up.

She was really influenced by her teacher's explanation that she had an impulse to start a new school club about what democracy actually means.

So she talked to her teacher after the class and the teacher really liked her idea. Her teacher also gave her some advices that could contribute to her opinion.

 Profiting from these suggestions she made a plan and negotiated with her friends to learn also about their ideas. Her friends also agreed with her and promised to aid her on the procedure of the school club. Next day Wisdom came to school with some posters on which the name of their club was written: Democracy forever. She and her friends hanged these posters on the walls so that other students could be informed about their club. After some time they were realy surprised to see there were a  lot of students interested in the club.

On the meeting day, Wisdom talked about the objective of their club:

Dear, Friends

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the meeting.

What we are desiring to do is to publish a newspaper about the function of democracy in the society. Democracy doesn't only refer to the suffrage of people. Listening to each other, being respectful and espouse fairness and creating an environment where everybody is equal and has a voice. This is what we expect from an ideal society and it needs to be like that. But unfortunately nobody cares. If we can accomplish this objective, we can also provide others to be more sensitive about democracy. "Do you all agree with me?", asked she.

Everybody agreed by saying "Yes!"

 Finally alll of the important decisions for the preparation of the newspaper were taken. They were planning to publish it at the end of the month.

They started to work on it and wrote a lot everyday. After a while the newspaper was comprising of more than 50 pages which was unexpectantly incredible for such a short period of time. At the end of the month, the newspaper was including more than 80 pages. Wisdom was really thankful to her friend for their endavours and congratulated them saying that what they did will always be of great renown and lead everyone to democracy.

When the newspaper was published, everybody started to read it. The content of the newspaper was so exciting that even the teachers of the school couldn't quit reading it. Also there was a big chance on the behaviours of the people who read the newspaper. The students of the school started to have more respect while talking to each other. They were helping each other in painstaking situations and taking their decisions by voting which is the main principle of democracy. Wisdom was walking on the air when her history teacher, her favourite teacher, praised her work. This step of Wisdom was a milestone for an upcoming generation that was raising with democracy.

              The Bridge of Understanding and Tolerance

My name is Wisdom, I would like to tell you a story about         TOLERANCE.

              In a village divided by a river, two communities, Northerners and Southerners; lived on opposite hills. The northerners were traditional and quiet, tending to their gardens, while the southerners were lively and creative, painting murals and dancing in the streets. Each believed their way of life was superior and rarely interacted with the others.One day, a powerful storm destroyed the bridge that connected the two hills. Both sides were stranded, and supplies began to run low. Realizing they needed each other, the villagers decided to rebuild the bridge.The northerners were skilled in construction, while the southerners had a flair for decoration. Together, they worked side by side, combining their talents. As they worked, they began to appreciate each other’s strengths. The northerners admired the southerners’ creativity, and the southerners respected the northerners’ careful craftsmanship.

When the bridge was finally finished, it was a beautiful blend of both traditions—strong and sturdy, yet vibrant and colorful. It became known as the Bridge of Tolerance and Understanding, a symbol of how the villagers had learned to accept and appreciate each other’s differences.

From that day on, the two communities no longer saw each other as strangers. They visited, shared stories, and celebrated their diversity, knowing that their unity made them stronger. The bridge had not only brought them together physically, but had also built a deeper connection of tolerance and respect. They learnt that tolerance and understanding can make life better for everyone. People can create a life full of peace; all they have to do is to be tolerant.

 One day in school they were learning about

tolerance. For the first few days she couldn’t really understand what its mean. She was just telling everybody that it was complicated but in reality she did not understand why and how it can be explained.

Wisdom decided to go on a walk with her mom and she still could not figure it out  and during the entire walk she was thinking about it and when she saw a man playing with his dog she asked her mom: 

“Mum, is that tolerance?” 

and her mum replied 

“Yes, honey, it is.”

Then she spotted some boys playing football and little Wisdom asked “Mommy, is that tolerance?” and mom replied “Yes, honey it is” .  Wisdom was confused and asked her mom:

“Is everything around us tolerance?” Her mom answered: “No. Do you see that group of kids arguing over there? Well, that is not tolerance. Tolerance is taking other people's opinions,

lifestyles, accepting them different and most important having respect for each other. ”.

From that day little Wisdom knew what tolerance was and when someone asked her what that means she knew what to say. (Leon B. 1.r)

THE FIGHT OF WISDOM FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE IGUALITY:  

The dream of Wisdom was playing football in a big team. When she was young, the boys of her class told she that she can’t play because she was a girl.  

In the afternoons when she was younger she went to the park to play but the boys didn’t want to play with them as she was the only girl, Wisdom went to home without having fun at the park. 

But... Wisdom loves football so she started playing by her own. Years ago the best team of her city was interesded on Wisdom so she became the best football player of her city. 

Later the boys that didn’t let her at the playground, played a match and Wisdom won it.

In a small village surrounded by high hills, there lived a brave and smart girl named Wisdom. While the boys in the village trained to become blacksmiths, farmers, and leaders, the girls were only allowed to cook and clean. But Wisdom was different. She had big dreams, dreams that reached far beyond the walls of her home.

One day, she confidently went to the village council—a room full of men—and said, “I want to become a blacksmith, and I want to help lead this village.” The council laughed loudly and told her that blacksmithing was too hard for a girl. But Wisdom did not give up. With determination in her eyes, she said, “Give me a chance, and I will work harder than anyone.” The council, doubtful but curious, gave her an opportunity. Wisdom dedicated herself to the work, hitting the metal carefully and strongly while also sharing her ideas for the village’s future. Days turned into weeks, and soon, the villagers saw the results of her hard work.

 Her skill as a blacksmith was unique, and the tools she made improved farming. Her decisions as a leader brought wealth. The whispers of doubt slowly turned into admiration as the villagers realized that Wisdom’s gender had nothing to do with her great talent.

As Wisdom’s reputation spread, more girls in the village started following her path, choosing jobs and dreams they once thought were impossible. The village, once controlled by strict traditions, became a place where everyone, no matter their gender, could follow their ambitions. Wisdom’s courage broke the old rules, 

proving that true strength is not in one’s gender 

but in one’s heart, determination, and vision for 

a better future.

The market:
Wisdom was walking by Albert Cuyp. A market located in Amsterdam (Netherlands),while looking at the products, saw a large man with a disheveled appearance snatch a young girl's wallet and no one did anything. At that moment Wisdom realized the injustice that had been committed and wondered why the people were so indifferent. That is why he decided to go to Iceland (the safest country in Europe), to observe what justice measures are used in cases of injustice in this country. He learned different methods of combating injustice:
