We are stronger together!

Zahvaljujući donatorima, Centar za unapređenje društva pokreće rad platforme na kojoj će mlada slepa lica biti tutori strancima koji žele da usavrše srpski jezik.

Platforma HeyHI, kojoj možete pristupiti putem linka https://heyhi.app/ još uvek je u test fazi. U test fazi su dostupni srski i engleski jezik, ali radimo na tome da poboljšamo platformu i proširimo spisak dostupnih jezika koje će korisnici moći da usavršavaju.

Zainteresovani će imati priliku da vežbaju govor srpskog jezika uz pomoć tutora koji su isključivo slepe, slabovide i druge osobe sa invaliditetom.

Platforma je jednostavna za korišćenje: zakazuje se čas koji traje 30 minuta i u dogovoreno vreme preko video-poziva korisnik priča sa svojim tutorom i vežba govorne sposobnosti jezika i uči kako da efikasno komunicira sa drugima. Izražavajući svoje misli, emocije i ideje, korisnik koji usavršava željeni jezik promeniće sliku o sebi i povećati samopouzdanje, a osbama sa invaliditetom će pomoći da aktivno budu uključeni u društvo.

Cilj ove platforme je višestruk. Dok korisnik vežba jezik, pomaže osobama sa invaliditetom da budu više uključeni u društvo, da zarade i doprinesu zajednici.

Napominjemo da je platforma u test fazi i da su časovi besplastni. Želja nam je da ova platforma bude od pomoći svima, kako korisnicima koji žele da njihov govor bude tečniji, tako i tutorima da budu što samostalniji! Stoga, stojimo na raaspolaganju za svaku povratnu informaciju o iskustvima sa platforme, sugestije, greške, koji bi pomogli poboljšanje rada platforme i procesa držanja časova.

Ovim putem pozivamo sve zainteresovane da se priključe, jer tutori su tu tokom celog meseca jula!

July 3rd, 2023, the Center for Society Advancement launched a platform where young visually impaired individuals will be tutors to foreigners looking to improve their Serbian language skills

Thanks to donors, the Center for Society Advancement is initiating the operation of a platform where young visually impaired individuals will act as tutors for foreigners wishing to enhance their proficiency in the Serbian language. The platform, HeyHI, accessible via the link https://heyhi.app/, is currently in the testing phase. During this phase, Serbian and English languages are available, but efforts are underway to enhance the platform and expand the list of available languages for users to improve.

Interested individuals will have the opportunity to practice speaking Serbian with tutors who are exclusively visually impaired, partially sighted, or persons with other disabilities. The platform is user-friendly: users can schedule a 30-minute session and, at the agreed-upon time, engage in a video call with their tutor to practice language-speaking abilities and learn effective communication with others. By expressing their thoughts, emotions, and ideas, users seeking language proficiency will transform their self-image, boost confidence, and help individuals with disabilities actively participate in society.

The platform’s objectives are manifold. While users enhance their language skills, they assist persons with disabilities in increased social inclusion, earning opportunities, and contributing to the community. It is important to note that the platform is in the testing phase, and the sessions are currently free of charge. Our goal is for this platform to be beneficial to everyone—both users aiming for fluent speech and tutors striving for greater independence. Therefore, we welcome any feedback on experiences with the platform, suggestions, and errors that could contribute to improving the platform’s functionality and the tutoring process. We invite all interested parties to join, as tutors will be available throughout the month of July!

Dvadesetčetvrtog juna obeležen je završetak jednog ciklusa projekta Samostlan ali ne sam. Projekat je realizovao Centar za integraciju mladih ZVEZDA u partnerstvu sa Centom za unapređenje društva i uz podršku Centra za zaštitu odojčadi, dece i omladine Zvečanska 7.

Projekat je namenjen mladima bez roditeljskog staranja, koji se pripremaju za samostalan život, i mladima koji su pre nekoliko godina napustili domski smeštaj i osamostalili se.

Cilj projekta je da mladi koji su pre nekoliko godina izašli iz doma i osamostalili se uz pomoć Centra Zvezda postanu mentori mladima koji se spremaju za osamostaljivanje, kako bi ih naučili da prevaziđu brojne prepreke i izazove i što lakše prebrode period adaptacije u lokalnoj zajednici.

Ovom prilikom okupili smo mlade da proslavimo saradnju i isplaniramo sledeće korake. Takođe, gosti su nam bili i kolege iz ASTRE i IZLAZAK, koji su podučili mlade kako da izbegnu potpadanje pod uticaj droge i postanu žrtve trgovine ljudima.

Usput smo se malo nasmejali i zabavili, uživali u posluženoj večeri i ukusnoj torti.

Zahvaljujemo se svima na lepoj saradnji, a naročito hotelu Radisson, koji nam je ustupio svoj predivan prostor.

Još jedan dobar posao smo priveli kraju, a verujemo da će biti još bolji i uspešniji nastavak!

On June 25, 2023, we marked the completion of a cycle of the project “Independent but not Alone”

The project was implemented by the Center for Youth Integration “ZVEZDA” in partnership with the Center for Society Advancement and with the support of the Center for the Protection of Infants, Children, and Youth at Zvečanska 7.

The project is designed for young people without parental care who are preparing for independent living, as well as for those who left institutional care a few years ago and have become self-reliant. The goal of the project is for young individuals who have previously left institutional care and achieved independence with the assistance of the Center ZVEZDA to become mentors for those currently preparing for independence. This mentoring aims to help them overcome numerous obstacles and challenges, facilitating a smoother transition during their adaptation period in the local community.

On this occasion, we brought the youth together to celebrate our collaboration and plan for the next steps. We were honored to have colleagues from ASTRA and IZLAZAK as our guests, who educated the youth on avoiding drug influence and avoid becoming victims of human trafficking.

We also took some time for laughter and fun, enjoying a served dinner and a delicious cake. We express our gratitude to everyone for the wonderful collaboration, especially to the Radisson Hotel, which generously provided us with its beautiful space.

Another successful job has come to an end, and we believe that the continuation will be even better and more successful!
