Observations
When the students are not surrounded by their friends, they break free from their everyday social roles. Therefore it is good to avoid choosing students who already form tight social groups.
Students and teachers alike really enjoyed doing crafts and art and with the help of a very inspiring teacher they also ended up singing while doing crafts.
