"I have learned to see the human being in each person, including in my enemy."
(Student, Morocco)

"EHL facilitates our mission as teachers. Moreover, it has resulted in my pupils seeing life, people and issues in different ways."
(Teacher, Yemen)

"It has also made me aware that other people’s lives are as important as my own life."
(Student, USA)

"I believe that the strength of EHL lies in its ability to confront various types of conflicts from a humanitarian point of view. EHL has a motivating and mobilizing effect not only on pupils but also on teachers who work with it."
(Teacher, Uruguay)

"I look forward to discussing such issues in the classroom, it encourages thinking. For a change, the focus is on students."
(Student, Malaysia)
