The program features films focused on themes of self-discovery, self-acceptance, empathy, and mutual support. Through aesthetic and touching imagery, children are invited to explore inner strength, compassion, the ability to support others, and to notice what truly matters — in themselves and in the world around them — without pressure, but with openness.
