Czech elementary school student, 14 years old - Copy - Copy“They were actually super chill. Considering drones are literally flying over their heads, they felt completely normal. It really changed the way I see things. It’s terrifying to live that close to war. But it’s also kind of cool that we play the exact same video games.”
Czech elementary school student, 15 years old“What I appreciated most was that even though those students found themselves in such a difficult and serious situation, they decided to do something about it and actively look for ways to cope with it, which I found deeply inspiring.”
Czech high school principal“The workshop was powerful and focused on an important and highly relevant topic, bringing it closer to students through the real stories of their peers. I especially appreciated the use of a specific film, which gave the activities authenticity and naturally encouraged an open and meaningful discussion afterwards.”

"Generation Nika brought structure, care, and professional guidance. I watched teenagers grow in confidence and teamwork week by week. This is definitely much more than just a movie. This is how life unfolds, even in the midst of hell"
