Training of Specialists of Social Sphere

 

In June we have finished a two-year course for specialists from social sphere – the Balint’s group. We are very pleased with the progress the group has accomplished. They learned the algorithm of the analyses of case studies. We saw a positive group dynamics and interest of the participants in the professional development.

All the experts noted the importance of the maintenance and support of professionals. According to the participants, the group helped to build the trust and to see situations from different angles. Here are some of their statements:

"We have become more open to each other."

"I began to sleep at night, thank you very much!".

"We are very grateful for what we have learned here. And it will be used at different form of work with the staff and colleagues now."

Remember that the Balint’s group is an effective method of enhancing professional communication skills, reduction of professional stress and "burnout."

 

The program "The Territory Z»

 

This month, there was an active preparation for the introduction of our new project in schools “The Territory Z ». The aim of the project is to promote a healthy lifestyle among students through interactive forms of work. Participants in our program would be three schools in Zaporizhzhya: school № 38, № 42 and № 5. In each school we will select three classes to work with, parents and teachers. Schools interested in cooperation with our Centre. They were especially interested in group work for teachers. In August, more detailed presentation of the program will be held for the teaching staff.

 

Juvenile Justice Program «We are Just Like You»!

 

 

Our trip to the detention centre in June was very enjoyable. In the classroom, we continued to introduce to teens the basic components of health, and more specifically, its spiritual component. Theoretically guys know what a good deed and a bad one. An important task of teachers is to transfer this knowledge into real life. Children usually happy to participate in the discussions, trying as much as possible to respond very quickly.

 

For the first time we organized a competition on bicycles. All the guys know very well how to ride, so were happy to take part in such a competition. The winners were awarded with diplomas. And by the end of the visit everybody was waiting for a delicious borsh, cooked over a fire by boys themselves.

On the 1st of June was an International Children's Day. The staff of the “Florence Centre” participated in a social events for kids. The main purpose of the event was to attract public attention to the problems of the family, the prevention of child abandonment; to support, develop and nurture a sense of spirituality, national consciousness of families with children and young people; informing the public about the public and private organizations that provide social services to families, children and youth.

 

 

 

Students’ Practicum

 

  

In June, we evaluated the results of the practicum of students. 30 future social workers of Economics and Law College shared what they have learned during the training sessions: "Now I understand what is social work, before I was not sure what I'll do later at work," "I get to know better my classmates, and I did not think that they are so interesting and diverse people "," In the past, I wanted to change my specialty and to move to another profession, but I realized after our classes that work with people is very interesting! ".

During the week of practicum, we helped the students to learn more about themselves and others, as well as give them ideas about their profession. Students not only actively participated in the sessions, but also helped in various methodical work.

Also this month we hosted four students from the Department of Social Pedagogy and Psychology from National University. Guys responsibly fulfill all their tasks, helping the program "Kangaroo", carrying out methodical and office work.
