In 2011, students of APL Global School, Chennai, found that the quiet students felt ignored, judged and teased during their time in school. They initiated activities like a 'Silent Hour' where they taped participants' mouths for them to experience how it feels to not be able to talk. To make every child feel special, they made tags and cards with compliments, and created a "togetherness" wall with handprints of all the students in class.
