Description
Through the project "The strongest link-volunteer for yourself, volunteer for others" Association "MI" and "ZvoniMir" will strengthen the capacity of 10 teachers of partner schools (Wallner Private High School and „Kralj Zvonimir“ Knin technical school) for implementation of school volunteer program (SO1). Teachers will be trained in Volunteer Program Management (Ac.1) and acquire skills in developing sustainable volunteer programs (VP) in their schools (Ac.2).
We will also empower 30 of their students for active participation in the community (SO2). We will include them in the School of Activism and Volunteering – SAV (Ac.3), an innovative method with which we will develop their ability to think critically about the needs of the community and encourage the development of their civic and social competencies. Through the organization of 2 activist campaigns and 2 volunteer activities (Ac.4), we will develop their organizational, communication and teamwork skills. They will break their habit of prejudice (especially important for vocational schools and in the multiethnic environment of Knin) and develop an understanding of diversity, inclusion and intergenerational cooperation. Through a joint meeting (Ac.5) which will be a form of rewarding and motivating, students of the two schools will exchange their experiences. On the other hand, by visiting the examples of good practice (Ak.6), teachers will develop ideas for implementation of their VP.
Through the regional and local volunteer center programs MI and ZvoniMir will continue to implement SAV in other schools and mentor partner schools in the implementation of VP after the project is finished, and various professional conferences will be an opportunity for them to promote their VP.
