The project “Diversity in Stories and Songs: A Creative Journey with Children” aimed to raise awareness among children aged 6 to 12 about the theme of diversity through the collaborative creation of a book and a song, together with singer George Philippart and author Monique Philippart. The book, entitled “Die Freundschaftsbank”, was developed in three languages during workshops in which the children actively took part in creating the stories and producing the illustrations. At the same time, they contributed to writing the lyrics of a song, which was later recorded in a studio.

In a context where issues of discrimination, stereotypes, and social inequalities are ever-present, this project sought to encourage children to recognize and value differences in a positive way. It fostered an understanding of concepts such as empathy, respect, and acceptance of others, while also offering them a creative framework in which to express these values.
