The project was created for the different organized groups that visit with mainly school children groups. How did we come to this idea? What were our objectives? How was it realized? We answer these and other questions telling the story of this initiative which will not be immediately meet with enthusiasm by all. Different sensitivities were manifested and some voices were more apprehensive and less favorable, while others were just cautious.
