"Unstoppable 2023"

On Saturday, November 26, 2023, I participated in the Indoor Para athletic Meeting which took place in the athletics hall at the Fair. I won 2nd place in the 60m sprint with a result of 8.14 seconds.

This month was filled with many interesting activities. On November 15, 2023, we hosted the participants of the Erasmus+ mobility project. The guests participated in a short introductory lecture through which we introduced them to the work of the high school.

As we reported earlier, our high school students had the opportunity, in cooperation with experts, to listen to a lecture on the importance of the month of the fight against addiction, which takes place from November 15 to December 15. Encouraged by the lecture, we decided to hold a quiz on the topic of the fight against addiction in order to check how well our students have acquired knowledge on the topic of addiction.

Last week, I visited the students on professional practice to record and photograph how they prepare cakes, which we will later add to their digital resumes. This time I filmed two schoolgirls preparing American cookies and recorded every step in their preparation.

In the past month, we had different workshops at the Day Care Center. We started preparations for Christmas, through special Christmas workshops. The users of the Day Center make different decorations for the pine tree out of wood and wool, and I help them with that.

In the previous period, I was dedicated to social work tasks such as writing letters and preparing individual plans for students. In addition to preparing psychosocial workshops, I also deal with social work every day, which I consider very useful for my professional development.

Last week, I filled out questionnaires with several students, based on which we will create digital resumes. Using digital resumes will make it a lot easier to find a permanent or seasonal job. Together, we tried to find their qualities that are important to emphasize when finding a job, and those that they can also work on to improve them.

From October 9 to 14, I participated in the On Arrival training in Orahovica as part of volunteering in the "European Solidarity Forces" project. We participated in numerous workshops with the sole purpose of empowering us as volunteers and with the purpose of getting answers to certain questions related to volunteering.

This week we participated in the on-arrival training in Orahovica. It was very interesting. We met a lot of different people from different parts of the world and from different cultures.

Hello everyone, my name is Martina and almost a month ago I started volunteering at COO Slave Raškaj. I can't believe that so much time has already passed and I can say that I am very happy to have been given this opportunity.

Hi everyone! I'm Kiara and I started volunteering at COO "Slava Raškaj" as part of the "Unstoppable 2023" project. My experience so far has been very positive and I look forward to future collaborations, workshops and gaining new experiences in working with students.
