Saznajemo o njima i njihovim životima: slušamo ih pažljivo, pratimo kako rastu i šta im se dešava. Slušamo i odrasle koji pričaju o njima, vidimo kako utiču na njih. Shvatamo da su deca i mladi i te kako uticali na nas, Grupu za decu i mlade „Indigo“. Neki tvrde da postoje Indigo deca; veruju da su ona saosećajna, radoznala, da ne vole pravila, da se teško uklapaju, ali da prihvataju druge onakvim
kakvi jesu, da doprinose uključivanju, da spajaju ljude. Iako smo savršeno svesni da ne postoji nijedan empirijski dokaz o postojanju Indigo dece, inspirisala nas je ideja o naraštajima koji snažno osećaju potrebu za promenama u svetu i koji tome doprinose. Tako će uvek biti. Zato je neophodno stalno prilagođavanje promenama. Jer ako se menjaju ljudi, moraju se menjati i društveni sistemi. To se prvenstveno odnosi na obrazovanje i vaspitanje, socijalnu i zdravstvenu zaštitu, kulturu i umetnost za decu i mlade.
Činjenica je da će današnja deca predvoditi čovečanstvo. Naša je obaveza da ih najadekvatnije osposobimo za život u savremenom svetu, za uloge koje će od nas preuzeti i – izmeniti. Nesporno je, takođe, da je svako dete jedinstveno. Naš je zadatak da mu svojim znanjem i delovanjem, još od njegove najranije dobi, pomažemo da ostvari sve svoje ljudske potencijale. U tome ćemo biti uspešni samo ako stalno budemo stvarali najbolje moguće uslove da njegova neponovljivost postane dragocena, kako njemu samom, tako i njegovom celokupnom okruženju. We have met the most different children and youth. We find out about them and their lives: we listen to them carefully, follow their growth and what is happening to them. We have also listened to adults talking about children and have seen how they affect them. And then, we realise children and youth have greatly affected us, “Indigo” Group for Children and Youth. Some people claim there are ‘indigo’ children and believe they are compassionate, curious, do not like the rules, can’t easily fit in, but they accept others as they are, contribute to inclusion and connect people. Although we are perfectly aware there is not a single piece of empirical evidence on the existence of ‘indigo’ children, we have been inspired by the idea of generations which strongly feel the need for change in the world and contribute to it. We see the world changes and new children constantly arrive. That is how it will always be. And that is why it is necessary to adapt to the changes all the time. For, if people change, the social systems must do the same. And this is primarily true for education and upbringing, social and health protection, culture and art for children and youth. The fact is that today’s children will lead mankind. Therefore, it is our duty to empower them for the life in the contemporary world, for the roles they will take over from us and – change. Undoubtedly, too, each child is unique. Our task is to use all our knowledge and abilities, in order to help every child, from the earliest age, fully develop all her/his human potentials. We will achieve this if we constantly create the best possible conditions for their uniqueness to become valuable not only to the child, but also to her/his environment.
