I am hearing two things. First, we all need to stand still and remember those we have lost and perhaps we should do that together in some way because we were not able to have funerals as we may have expected. Second, we need to make sure that our learnings from this and its commemoration happens in schools.

My other question is about rites of passage. This particularly applies to Olga. Pupils in sixth class are the oldest in a school and have the experience of being the elders in the school. Some schools have confirmation, a big school tour and all of those things. How should that be restored for children? How do our guests think that should be marked now that they are in secondary school? I apologise for assuming they are in secondary school. Do our guests think something needs to be made up? Do we need to create those rites of passage on which we adults look back with fond memories? Our guests have not had that experience. How can we restore that?
