The Day I Became Strong

When did you notice that you are strong?

In 700 stories from 50 countries, children, young people and adults retrospectively have told their very personal stories of experiencing their inner strength.

Some of them were turned into short films in cooperation with 16 countries worldwide.

About the project

The “Strong Stories for Strong Children” project is based on a unique study conducted by the International Central Institute for Youth and Educational Television (IZI) at Bayerischer Rundfunk and the PRIX JEUNESSE Foundation, with support of the Goethe Institute. For four years, workshops were held around the world in which children, young people and adults drew and wrote down personal experiences of strength. Some of the 700 stories from 50 countries have now been made into short films. Currently, 17 television stations are involved in this international co-production.
