Project duration: 1 August- 31 December 2014
Project grant: 10.000,00 HKN
Professionals in children homes are responsible for complete care of their beneficiaries (health, upbringing, education, psycho-social and emotional development, development of working habits and other skills needed for children mature life). Besides all obligations, children have their leisure time as well which, very often, do not know to organise by themselves. Professionals and other experts in children homes often are overwhelmed with their workload and therefore leisure time of children beneficiaries often is left unorganised. Unorganised leisure time often led to problematic behaviour, especially among vulnerable groups such as children and youth without adequate parents’ care. The project is offering useful and meaningful leisure time for children in the Children Home Vrbina in Sisak throughout following activities:
-
Media literacy workshops (followed by computer donation)
-
Help with school homework
-
Creative workshops
-
Companionship of volunteers acting as positive identification model (strolls, excursions, exhibitions, cinema, theatre, sport).
Expected results of the project are improvement of children beneficiaries of the Children Home Vrbina in Sisak leisure time; fostering volunteer work with children and youth in the Home and promotion of volunteering as positive social value in general.
It is important to stress out that project activities motivate creative way of spending leisure time and adoption of healthy life styles that will provide children in the Children Home development of personal skills and competencies necessary for successful grow and work, important upon leaving the Home.
