Snimljen prilog za Beogradsku hroniku

Dušica Jeleč, predsednica Centra za unapređenje društva, i naša koleginica Marija, koja radi sa jednim detetom iz beogradskog doma, za Beogradsku hroniku pričale su o značaju individualnog rada sa decom bez roditeljskog staranja. Ovom prilikom rekle su i nešto više o našem projektu Družimo se i učimo zajedno, koji sprovodi upravo ovu metodu individualnog pristupa.

Zoran Milačić, generalni direktor Centra u Zvecanskoj 7, takođe je izrazio nekoliko pohvalnih reči o ovom projektu.

 

August 15th, 2023, a segment for Belgrade Chronicles was recorded

Dušica Jeleč, President of the Center for Society Advancement, and our colleague Marija, who works with a child from a Belgrade Children’s home for those without parental care, spoke about the importance of individual work with children without parental care. On this occasion, they also shared more about our project Socializing and Learning Together, which precisely implements this method of individual approach.

Zoran Milačić, the General Director of the Center at Zvecanska 7, also expressed several commendable words about this project.

Uz pomoć volontera, deca su učila o ličnoj bezbednosti i situacijama koje za njih mogu biti ugrožavajuće, sticala znanja o godišnjim dobima, crtala razne predmete i određivala njihovu upotrebu, vežbala pisanje slova i reči kroz igru. Na jednoj od radionica imali su zadatak da nacrtaju sebe kao superheroja i da osmisle koju bi supermoć želeli da poseduju. Takođe, igrali su se pamtomime, oprobali se u ekspresiji emocija kroz glumu i crtali termometar besa/ljutnje po kom su pisali na koji način postupaju kada se nađu na različitom stupnju raspoloženja. Na kraju radionice, deca su sa volonterima diskutovala o reakcijama koje su navodili (psovati, potući se, vikati, šutirati) i zajedničkim snagama došli do zaključka da takve reakcije nisu dobre, nskon čega su od volontera naučili vežbu dubokog disanja, koja pomaže pri smirenju besa. Svaka radionica zaokružena je fudbalom, igrama sa čunjevima, sedenjem sa volonterima u dvorištu i pričom o temama o kojima se govorilo na radionici. Zahvaljujemo se na ovom predivnom iskustvu našim mladim kolegama psiholozima! August 7th, 2023, the Center for Society Advancement and its volunteers diligently worked with children living in a home for children without parential care in Bela Crkva With the assistance of volunteers, the children learned about personal safety and situations that could be threatening to them, gained knowledge about the seasons, drew various objects and determined their use, practiced writing letters and words through play. In one of the workshops, they were tasked with drawing themselves as superheroes and imagining which superpower they would like to possess. Additionally, they played pantomime, experimented with expressing emotions through acting, and drew a thermometer which represents anger, on which they wrote how they behave when they are in different moods. At the end of the workshop, the children discussed with the volunteers the reactions they listed (cursing, fighting, yelling, kicking), and together, they got to the conclusion that such reactions are not good. Following this, they learned from the volunteers the deep breathing exercise, which helps calm anger. Each workshop was closed with soccer, games with cones, sitting with volunteers in the yard, and discussing the topics covered during the workshop. We express our gratitude to our young colleagues, psychologists for this wonderful experience!

Vikend sa decom bez roditeljskog staranja iz doma u Beloj Crkvi

Slike govore više od reči. Koliko su ova deca divna i posvećena govori njihovo nestrpljivo iščekivanje vikenda kada dolaze naši volonteri da se sa njima druže i rade nešto kreativno!

Ovog vikenda tema su bili SNOVI. Mališani su najpre pričali o svojim snovima, a onda su postavljali pitanja poput:

Da li, ako sanjamo nešto, to znači da će tako biti i u stvarnosti?

Pravila se razlika između loših i dobrih snova i kako snovi utiču na nas, a zatim su mališani crtali svoje snove.

Sledeći vikend pravimo Hvatač snova za njihove sobe.

Pozvamo vas da se učestvujete finansijski i u robi kako bi ove radionice potrajale bar jedan ciklus od 12 meseci.

Centar za unapređenje društva zahvaljuje se MONI na podršci za grupu dece sa kojima radimo u Beogradu.

 

Weekend with children without parental care from the institution for children without parental care in Bela Crkva

Pictures speak louder than words. The beauty and dedication of these children are evident in their eagerly awaited weekends when our volunteers come to spend time with them and engage in creative activities!

This weekend’s theme was DREAMS. The little ones first shared their dreams, then asked questions such as:

„Does dreaming about something mean it will happen in reality?“

They discussed the distinction between good and bad dreams and how dreams impact us. Afterwards, the children drew their dreams.

Next weekend, we are creating Dream Catchers for their rooms.

We invite you to participate financially and with donations to ensure these workshops last at least one cycle of 12 months.

The Center for Society Advancement expresses gratitude to MONI for their support of the group of children we work with in Belgrade.

 

Poziv za pomoć pri organizaciji edukativno-terapeutskog izleta za decu bez roditeljskog staranja

Centar za unapređenje društva poziva sve da se pridruže i pomognu u organizaciji još jednog edukativno-terapeutskog izleta za decu bez roditeljskog staranja i mlada slepa lica sa kojima, takođe, radimo na razvoju veština i podsticaju njihove samostalnosti.

U okviru godišnjih ciklusa podrške, uvek organizujemo bar dva izleta za celu grupu, a od ove godine će nam se priključiti i mališani iz doma u Beloj Crkvi.

Cilj je da im omogućimo da vide i nauče nešto novo, nauče a povrh svega da malo izađu iz doma i zaborave na loše trenutke i probleme sa kojima se svakodnevno suočavaju. Važno je napomenuti da, koliko god za njih radimo dobre stvari, izlet je nešto što od svega najviše žele i svaki put mu se nezmerno raduju.

Popunili smo čak dva autobusa, a s obzirom na to da smo dobili podršku od Drvengrada i Šarganske osmice, MOLIMO I VAS da nas podržite u doniranju hrane i pića. Za ovaj izlet potrebno nam je 160 obroka (bar dva obroka – pljeskavice ili sličan paket), po 80 flašica sokova i flaširane vode.

Robu treba najkasnije da obezbedimo do 20. juna!

 

Call for Assistance in Organizing an Educational-Therapeutic Trip for Children without Parental Care

The Center for Society Advancement invites everyone to join and help in organizing another educational-therapeutic trip for children without parental care and young visually impaired individuals with whom we also work on skill development and fostering their independence.

As part of our annual support cycles, we always organize at least two trips for the entire group, and starting this year, children from the institution for children without parential care in Bela Crkva will also be joining us.

The goal is to give them the opportunity to see and learn something new, and above all, to take a break from residing in the institution and to forget about the difficult moments and challenges they face on daily  bases. It’s important to note that, no matter how many good things we do for them, the excursion is something they eagerly anticipate and greatly enjoy each time.

We have filled up two buses, and we were given the support from Drvengrad and Šarganska osmica, so we kindly ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT in donating food and beverages. For this trip, we need 160 meals (at least two meals – burgers or a similar package), 80 bottles of juice, and 80 bottles of water.

We need to secure the supplies by June 20 at the latest!
