Efua Hayford, international liaison from HWPL, said :
“There will be different activities to understand the experience of each individual child. So, we will have scenarios so that they can play out if this is a situation that happens how they would resolve it. And then we will do an outdoor activity to see the different life experience that each child has been through. So, we will ask them if they have ever experienced violent aggression or if they have experienced verbal aggression. And each child will walk forward and at the end they can look around and see what their different classmates have been through and to understand the perspective of each other.”
