Year two and beyond
The network stays open after the first season
Schools that join from the 2027/28 season onward become part of the national network and take part in the program and festival, but do not receive founder status.
For the child
Participant diploma
Every child in the group receives a personal diploma. The school fills in the name — children's personal details are never published on the website.
