ÉCHOS
“Who influences my choices?”
The first project of the Hatua Education area, ÉCHOS invites students to become aware of the voices that shape their decisions, so they can learn to choose more freely.
Lycée Tobongisa, Kinshasa
01Context
Voices that echo
Every day, young people make choices: what they study, who they spend time with, what they believe, who they want to become.
These choices do not come out of nowhere. Family, friends, school, social media, the media, music, community: many voices echo around them. Sometimes visibly, often without anyone noticing.
ÉCHOS invites students to pause for a moment and listen to these voices. Who influences my choices? Why? And what do I decide to do about it? The aim is not to reject influences, but to learn to recognise them in order to decide consciously.
