MUNICIPALITY VINICA TOGETHER WITH CHILDREN, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PROFESSIONAL STAFF IN SCHOOLS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SOCIAL WORK CENTER, POLICE, HEALTH CENTER, AND CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS… showed that they want and can create added value to everything they have as work responsibilities and invest in a NEW MISSION – CREATING A STRATEGY FOR CHILDREN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF VINICA.
The mass participation and dedication of all stakeholders present at the event held at the Progressive Academy on October 15, 2024, which is part of the project of the First Children’s Embassy in the World Megjashi and the Family and Child Care Center KMOP, VINICA – Child friendly municipality.
Children/students were the source for identifying deficiencies and problems in the urban and rural environments of Vinica, but also the source of ideas and solutions for overcoming them through consultations with them.
During the consultations with children, conducted with a special methodology by teachers, caregivers, and professional staff at the Kindergarten and schools, 27 children aged 3 to 6 years in the kindergarten, 85 children/students from first to fifth grade, 91 children/students from sixth to ninth grade in primary schools, and 45 children/students from the secondary municipal school were involved.
In the first part of the event, students worked under the mentorship of teachers and, through their drawings, statements, requests, and observations, expressed the needs and problems they face daily.
In the second part of the event, members of the Local Panel, representatives from schools, the municipality, institutions, and civic associations, based on the issues identified by the students, developed possibilities for overcoming and solving the issues.
The event ended with the general satisfaction of all those present.
