The kids played a game with the organization’s psychologist
today. We discussed people in our
lives can potentially be a source of conflict, as well as people who can help
us get out of conflicts. It’s
fascinating to me how overwhelmingly negative the viewpoint here is on the
police. It’s not just “cool” to
hate on the police. It’s the
reality of the country of Ukraine – the police are generally just bad people
here. In all my time here, I have
never been told to call the police in case of an emergency. In fact, most advice I have gotten was
to stay completely away from them or they will try to rip you off because
you’re a foreigner.
This exercise was good for the children because it got them
thinking of how to safely diffuse conflicts and use resources to get out of
tricky situations. It was also
entertaining to watch!
