Lessons learnt... working with SEN kids
During a special period of my life in London, I had the privilege of assisting children of all ages, genders, and ethnicities in schools. Some of these children had special needs, while others were typically developing. I particularly focused on working with children affected by autism as well as those with socio-emotional and behavioral disorders. Throughout this experience, I learned more from these children than I could have from a well-educated adult because there are man

Lightman and the mermaids
The search for the third tebris continued for several months without any success. Lightman's armor had withstood the tumultuous tropical storms, the scorching suns of the Sahara, and the powerful northern winds. After many months of searching, his starry cloak had deteriorated to the point of giving way, causing Lightman to suddenly fall into the North Sea, where the mermaids came to his rescue and brought him ashore. Once recovered from his fall, Lightman asked the mermaid

How can we become wise?
We can’t help but repeat it continuously: we human beings are intelligent but not wise. We have develo ped the most advanced technologies, but we have used them to destroy one another. We have learned how to call someone on the other side of the globe, but we do not know how to love those who are close to us. We have gone to Mars, yet we still do not know how to live on Earth. So, when will we learn to become wise? Perhaps we keep repeating the same thing because we are askin

Marrion and the lost tebris
The Amazons were so impressed by Lightman's performance that they decided to reveal the location of the second tebris to him: a Maori tribe in eastern Australia had discovered it. However, the Amazons failed to mention that a dark man had taken the second tebris. The tribe leader, Marrion, had his soul corrupted by the tebris and chose to steal it, taking it with him to the remote caves of western Australia. The power of the tebris greatly enhanced his abilities, allowing M

''To fit in or not to fit in'' - Part 1
Suddenly, the master noticed a vacant look on the young apprentice's face, followed by a strange, satisfied grin. It became clear to the master that his student was no longer listening, so he fell silent. "Is there something you want to tell me?" the master asked. "No, master, it's just... a thought I've had for days," the student replied. "Tell me," the master encouraged. "No thought comes without reason, and perhaps I can guide you to see things more clearly." "Well, I've b

Why does society need to change its mindset on diversity and inclusion?
The first lesson taught when learning to drive is to adjust the backrest's inclination and height to a comfortable and safe position, ensuring that the seat cushion is at eye level. Essentially, we're taught to adjust the car to fit our measurements, rather than trying to conform our bodies to the vehicle. After all, you wouldn’t drive with a backrest that obstructs your view of the road, would you? This seems obvious. We are all different, with varying heights, abilities, an

The first tebris
The undertaking promised to be difficult. The Tebris had been lost for centuries, and the only knowledge of them came from legends passed down through generations. These legends recounted how indigenous tribes discovered the mysterious objects and hid them, guarding them jealously for a long time. Few people who learned the whereabouts of the Tebris returned alive from their quests; the ancient tribes had set traps and energy fields to keep the Tebris from falling into the wr

The six ingredients for global peace
Like a recipe, peace is made up of various ingredients that must be present in measured proportions and achieve a good balance of flavors. We are none the wiser for a meal that looks appealing if its taste does not live up to its outward appearance. So true peace must not consist solely of a temporary façade, but of a genuine and lasting essence. Peace can also mean something different to each of us, and like any recipe, its ingredients can be adjusted to reflect our tastes.

Lightman - Incipit
It is said that, in the dawn of time, light and darkness shared a single core of energy, which the ancient prophets called 'labris'. The energy of the former balanced that of the latter, allowing the two to coexist in perfect harmony in the universe. However, one day, a sudden explosion caused by a meteor shattered the labris, and its fragments generated objects and creatures of light and darkness that were cast down to Earth. Separated, light and darkness became powerful cen

Anxiety
*This story is entirely fictional, and any resemblance to actual events or people is purely coincidental Another sleepless night. I can't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. Oh my goodness, did I lock the door? I'm not sure—I should go downstairs to check. That noise… it sounded like a ring or perhaps a thud. I really need to check if I locked the door. I'll get up now. It's 3 o'clock. What should I do now? I think I'll grab my pencil case and start colorin

LGBTQ+ Sicilian stories
The situation for gay people in Italy is extremely difficult. At best, they are rejected and mocked; at worst, they risk suffering violence or severe discrimination. The Church, which in my view represents a major obstacle to the advancement of their rights, supports a backward and bigoted culture and mindset. Of course, I am no t referring to everyone, but certainly to the majority. I have been living in England for the past few years. Still, I have heard stories of gay youn

The 5 interconnected things I’ve learnt about equality from living in the UK
1. Very often, equality is about what you can see: skin colour, gender, or economic status. But the truth is that there are many other hidden factors that can determine how easily you’ll get ahead in life – things you can’t see and can’t fully understand. How much our parents believed in us, how much love we were given, how much support we received from our friends. That is why we should reflect more deeply when we see someone for whom success seemed a foregone conclusion end
