One of the leaders told us once how thanks to Brave the kids from his group become more self-confident and proud of their culture, and of their input, as they get respect here. Even when they do these archaic dances, i.e. the old dances, they are not afraid someone will mock them, or poke fun at their steps. I think it’s because they get the attention and all this great fun: kids getting together, learning from each other, and getting to know each other. Well, it is about breaking this cultural ossification. It’s like breaking the taboo in a sense it helps the kids to reflect that it’s not that archaic, that it’s alive, and it can be approached from another side. And by doing so, it acquires different meaning for them, too. This gesture, symbol, this dance — it becomes something different, new, and fascinating if it is performed by the kids in the costumes of other cultures.

Kids teach kids - this is something that we want to see: the kids who learned some skills from other kids, their friendship and their joy coming from meeting new people” „(...) kids think it cannot be done, and at the end of the day they are the ones to seize the chance to make it happen during the performance… and together, in joy, they become fulfilled and touched because they made it happened.
