Workshop progress
- Warm-up game – “Honest or not?” Students recognized whether a certain behavior was honest or dishonest through visual cards and short described situations, using green and red stickers. A short discussion followed with clarification of the answers. Students actively participated and showed understanding of the concepts.
- Explanation of the concept of corruption. Using simple sentences, visual support and specific examples from everyday life, the concept of corruption was explained as the abuse of position or power for personal gain. The content was adapted to the needs of students with hearing impairments.
- Group activity – “How would you act?”. Students were divided into small groups and given scenarios with situations of unfair behavior. Each group discussed whether the behavior was fair, how they would act and who they would turn to for help. The activity ended with a short dramatization (role-play). Students showed interest and ability to suggest appropriate solutions.
- Creative Activity – “Honesty Tree”. Students wrote or drew one honest action they would take during the week. The sheets were placed on a common “Honesty Tree”, which encouraged personal responsibility and positive motivation.
- Final Reflection. In a circle, each student shared one thought about what they learned and why it is important to be honest. Students expressed positive feelings and understanding of the meaning of fair behavior.
- Adaptation for students with hearing impairment: Short and clear sentences were used; Visual support was provided (pictures, symbols, written text); Specific instructions and repetition of key concepts were given; Appropriate communication support was provided.
- Conclusion: The workshop was successfully implemented with the active participation of all 15 students. Students showed interest, cooperation and understanding of the topic. The set goals were achieved, and the message “Honesty makes us strong. Each of us can choose to be fair and just.” was positively received by the students.
