- João was a boy who got angry easily. One day, his grandfather gave him a bucket and said:

Every time you get angry, put a stone in this bucket.

- On the fírst day, John put in a lot of stones. He got angry With his brother, his mother and even his dog. The bucket became heavy.

- At the end of the week, he took the bucket to his grandfather and said:

It`s very hard to carry this bucket!

- Grandpa smiled and replied:

Anger is like that. The more you hold on to you anger, the heavier it gets. If you want to feel the stones on the ground.

- From that day on, Jonh tried to take a deep breath before getting angry. And little by little, the bucket became lighter.

- Emine is a very angry person and her days are boring.

Ugh, I'm very angry today too.

What's up Emine? You look angry. Is there anything I can help you with?

I am very angry. What is your solution?

My grandfather told me to first get a bucket and then throw a stone every time you get angry. Do you think you can lift the bucket when it's full?

No, I can't lift it, it's too heavy

Emotions accumulate inside us like this. Every time you get angry, take a deep breath and wait for your anger to pass. This will be much better for you.

thanks, I'll try that

- After that day, Emine calmed her nerves and told this incident to her angry friends.

Sometimes everything makes me so angry, and then I just explode. How can I stop getting so mad?

Anger is a normal emotion — everyone feels it. The problem isn’t that you get angry, but how you react when you do

 I start breathing faster and everything just annoys me.

it’s good to have a way to let the anger out safely — without hurting yourself or others. You can go for a walk, draw, write in a notebook, punch a pillow, or listen to music.

It’s important to learn how to say what’s bothering you without shouting. For example, say, “I don’t like how you said that,” instead of yelling, “Shut up!” or something like that.

Okay, that makes sense. It’s not easy, but I can try.

On the third day of the camp, a "treasure hunt" was organized in the forest. They had to find their way with a map in groups. However, during the competition, Claire misunderstood the map drawn by Hiroshi and the group got lost.

As the group wandered deeper into the woods, frustration began to set in. Claire felt guilty for misinterpreting Hiroshi’s map, while Amina tried to stay optimistic. Just as their hopes started to fade, a small figure emerged from behind the trees—a young local boy, no older than eight.

He didn’t say much, just gestured toward a hidden trail with quiet confidence. The older scouts hesitated. Could this child really know the way? They exchanged doubtful glances, assuming he was just playing a game.

Reluctantly, they followed. With each step, the boy demonstrated an uncanny knowledge of the terrain, pointing out safe paths, avoiding tricky slopes, and even showing them where to find water. Slowly, admiration replaced doubt. They realized they had dismissed him simply because of his age, failing to recognize his wisdom and skill.

"The Bench of Empathy"

The students - Tomás R, Tomás A. Lúcia, Carolina and Francisco (Portugal), Adelina, Patricia, Bianca, Despina, Emanuel, Samuel (Romania), H. Eren, Sila, Zeynepsu, Elif and Ada (Turkey) - met through the eTwinning project “eTwinners Citizenshio in Action”, to explore European citizenship. They chose to focus on empathy and came up with the idea of an Empathy Bank in their schools. The bench invited anyone who felt alone or needed support to sit down. Trained colleagues then approached them with kindness and a listening ear. In all three schools, amazing things happened: new friendships were formed, conflicts were resolved and even members of the community got involved. What began as a simple bench became a symbol of unity, care and active citizenship. By listening and showing compassion, the students experienced the true spirit of Europe - united by empathy.
