According to Margherita Aragioni, the ideological inspirer and co-author of the program, this program continues to be relevant. In addition to the development of social and civic competencies, intercultural and peace education, and deepening work with parents, the program has the potential to work with children in the de-occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
