1. The "Healthy Generation"

In February, in the context of the program "Healthy Generation"  employees conducted  20 sessions  in five schools in  Zaporizhhzya. Eight of these sessions were devoted to professional identification, 8 sessions on team building and mental health of children, 1 session was aimed at preventing of consumption of dinks with low percentage of alcohol, one session focuses on the prevention of FASD. The goal of each sessions was to develop the interest of children and help to build the necessary skills.

For example, the first sessions on the team-building children - students of the sixth grade  felt difficulties in establishing meaningful contacts present rigid distinction between "friends" and "enemies," which made ​​it very difficult work in teams. After six sessions, we can say that the situation has changed - the children enthusiastically involved in the job, help each other, feeling like a team. The guys who were outsiders gradually incorporated into the work, fixing the situation of success. Thus, we can say about the positive group dynamics and the development of communicative qualities of children, and that was the purpose of these sessions.

2. Student’s practicum

This month three groups of students were on practicum: 4 students  from social work program,  2 students of social pedagogy  program from different Universities and 15 students from Economics and Law College.
