Report November 2015

 

Work with specialists of social sphere

November was for us a very busy month in the number of events.

We conducted the regular meeting of the Balint’s group. All specialists actively participated in the session, we work not only on the development of a skill of decision-making, but also on the expression of feelings. We see a high level of interest and motivation to continue this work.

"Our meeting with you is like a breath of fresh air!"

"When I know that we will have a meeting today, I simply fly on the wings, so cozy is the atmosphere here."

Very active work was carried out with students of Zaporizhzhya National University (Faculty of Social Pedagogy and Psychology) and Zaporizhzhya  Technical University (Faculty of International Tourism).

In addition, we participated in a round table for future teachers. The event was held at the Faculty of Social Pedagogy and Psychology. Its purpose was to show the potential for cooperation with future teachers of  schools and  counseling services.

We also held classes at the Institute of Postgraduate Education for social workers from Zaporizhzhya Region. Our task was to provide the most useful and practical information that would help professionals in their activities.

In November was held  a round table for local public organizations and foreign experts from Bosnia and Serbia. The round table was organized by the Mennonite Central Committee. The participants shared their experience with temporarily displaced persons (IDPs). It was interesting to learn how many companies provide comprehensive assistance for IDPs. Experts from Bosnia  shared their experience of work with veterans of war and refugees, which proved to be very useful for all those present.

 

 

 

The "Kangaroo" Program 

During the month, 17 people attended classes under the "Kangaroo" program.

There have been 4 individual consultations for parents and psychological assistance to the families.

Program staff organized the sixth seminar for parents of children with autism, on the theme: "The child's behavior in public places." Parents were actively involved in the discussions, shared experiences, and had the opportunity to get advice from experts.

In addition, for the parents of our pupils was organized  a parents' meeting with the participation of representatives of Regional psychological/medical/ pedagogical consultation. A specialist told  parents  about the work of this consultation and about different programs for children with special needs at school.

At the end of the month we visited a boarding school "Dzherelo", in which there are remedial classes for children with Down syndrome. Teachers shared their experiences and skills in working with these children.

In November, we again had an excursion to the library named after Androsov. Children looked through the new books with interest, watched educational cartoons about autumn, took part in fun competitions.

We also continued our good tradition of celebration of birthdays and congratulated one of our children.

 And of course,  we again had clowns who gave the kids a lot of positive emotions.

This month, we were actively engaged in the physical development of children - performed physical therapy, sports games and activities  with hoops, skittles, a labyrinth. Children enthusiastically engaged in the sports and we  saw the first successes of our kids!

We want to share another happy event in our live! One of our children started to eat other food products besides a porridge!

Great joy for us was a gift from the asphalt plant - a new road near our entrance.

 

 

 

The Program "Healthy Lifestyle"

                  

In November, we continued a series of classes for seventh graders to teach teens communicative  skills. We noticed that particularly difficult for children is to establish friendly relations. The reason is the lack of knowledge about the culture of behavior.  We teach the culture of thoughts, speech, appearance, behavior. The sessions bring not only benefits but also the joy to all the participants. By the New Year, we plan to conduct a series of studies quest aimed at uniting schoolchildren.

 

 

The Project "Stop HIV / AIDS"

        

Continued training on HIV / AIDS in the vocational schools of  Zaporizhzhya. All class members enthusiastically took part in the presentations and in a quest. Also want to mention the high interest of the administration of educational institutions.

 

 

Juvenile Justice Program «We are Just Like You»!

                                                

  In November, our trip to the detention centre was particularly exciting because we had planned three types of activities! It was a mini-lecture about a healthy lifestyle, cooking dumplings and sporting events.

During the class Sergey  (our leader of the program) spoke about the basic rules of the physical education, health training and catering. Especially the children enjoyed  exercises for the eyes.

Also, this time we decided to cook delicious dumplings with boys . It should be noted that compared to the last time, the quality of the finished dumplings improved significantly. Recently they made dumplings with teachers. After the sport events, all had hot  dumplings with sour cream. And they were eaten in record time!

In spite of the strong wind and the cold, we  had a  football match. Since most of the students were girls, the competition was very interesting.

                                                                                    

 

 

The Program «Volunteers»

We are very happy that enthusiasts are always ready to help our centre! Especially when these enthusiasts are  creative, and responsible! We are very grateful to all those who help us during the last months . It is students of the specialty social pedagogy. They actively participated in the life of the children of the "Kangaroo" program, preparing teaching materials, taking children  for a walk. Thank you very much!!!
