Project “Bibbi says no!” – A daycare box for self-determination and feelings
 “I listen to my gut, and sometimes I just say: NO!”
 The Bibbi Says No project accompanies children ages 4 and up on an exciting journey of discovery: Bibbi, the little bee, lives in a beehive and one day realizes: I don't want to just go along with it anymore! She learns to listen to her gut feeling and say what's good for her. Together, the children experience that saying no is allowed – and all feelings are justified.
 What makes the project special?
 Children learn to recognize and name their own feelings and make courageous decisions. They discover that both "no" and "yes" feelings are important and develop creative tools with which they can express their feelings. Bibbi becomes a trusted companion who shows them that it's okay to listen to your gut feeling.
