Start Strong – Build a Safe, Connected and Inclusive Classroom

The first weeks of the school year are crucial for setting the tone. It’s the perfect moment to build a safe, positive and respectful learning environment together. With our teaching materials, you can focus on five essential themes. Explore practical, inspiring and ready-to-use resources for each theme and give your class a strong, positive start to the year.

 

  1. Class Rules & Safety – for structure and clear expectations

  2. Social-Emotional Skills – for confidence, empathy and cooperation

  3. Inclusion & Diversity – for a school where everyone belongs

 

Theme 1: Team Building

The start of the school year is the perfect time to build a strong, connected classroom. With our materials, you actively foster trust, connection, and positive interaction. Students get to know each other, feel seen, and feel safe to be themselves. A strong group lays the foundation for enjoyment, safety, and academic success.

Theme 2: Preventing Bullying

A Safe Classroom Starts with Recognizing and Talking About Bullying. Our teaching materials help students gain insight into their own behavior and encourage them to stand up for one another. The Wall Against Bullying project visibly grows along with the class, multiple groups, or even the entire school – a powerful symbol of shared responsibility. Make it even more meaningful by handing out buttons or wristbands: small gestures with a big message.

 

Theme 3: Classroom Rules & Safety

Clarity from day one: this is how we treat each other. With our posters featuring clear classroom agreements and worksheets to create rules together, you build a safe and positive learning environment step by step.
Students feel involved, understand what is expected of them, and take responsibility for the atmosphere in the group.

Theme 4: Social-Emotional Skills

Strong social skills are the foundation of a positive classroom atmosphere. With our teaching materials, students practice emotions, self-confidence, cooperation, and setting boundaries in a playful and accessible way. This helps them grow in resilience and respect – essential for a safe school environment.

Theme 5: Inclusion & Diversity
Everyone should feel free to be themselves and know they belong – that’s the message we share together. With colorful posters, bracelets, and teaching materials on topics such as respect, gender diversity, and LGBTQIA+, we work toward an open, safe, and inclusive school culture.
