As part of the NGO GO to school campaign, the LAZ association presented itself first to the students, and later to the teachers of Litija Primary School at the round table. We have published the learning programs that we implement for schools. We want more visits from the local environment.
On Thursday, October 6, 2016, from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., as part of the NGO Go to School campaign, we presented a collection of pebbles to students, and later on a round table, teaching programs for the teachers of Litija Elementary School.
The initiators of the campaign are the meeting point of NGOs of Central Slovenia and the ZLHT Regional NGO Center. The aim of the campaign is to encourage the integration of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with primary schools in the local environment. Through our activities and programs, non-governmental organizations in the local environment can offer an experiential and experiential way of educating young people.
The volunteers of the LAZ association briefly presented the activities of the association Permanent collection of pebbles from the Sava River. We enriched the presentation with various games with pebbles. Students from the sixth grade came to our presentation place in the school yard, namely students who attend the second, fourth and fifth grades. Some teachers expected us to present our ‘rural’ content.
At 1 p.m., in the chamber, we presented the association’s references in the field of learning content and concrete programs of the natural science, technical and cultural day, which are carried out in Breg pri Litija, in the chamber, the entire teachers’ union. The programs include the river Sava, the stories of the pebbles that are exhibited in the fire station, and stone carving, a bicycle service, a tourist farm, a farm with a solar power plant and a craftsman who demonstrates basket weaving also participate.
We also presented a program of learning about medicinal herbs at the herb garden in Zelenac.
The teachers showed interest in short programs, as they run out of days of activity, and some of the learning content offered by the associations is covered by themselves with a school in nature.
There is also interest in programs suitable for all grades of primary school, for students with special needs, even in wheelchairs.
We are satisfied with the campaign, and for a larger visit to local schools in our curricula, even more communication with teachers, as well as the volunteers who implement the programs, will be required.
