Opening New Horizons
Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our Centre, SOS Social Centre “Hermann Gmeiner” Sarajevo, has started with new youth program so there will be large number of activities to cover it. It includes educative-creative workshops, psychological workshops, sports tournaments and social games. But, it will not put aside regular activities in other departments of the Centre (Kindergarten and Early Childhood development Centre). Our Centre is visited by children ages 6-13 and youth 13-30 from the SOS Village Sarajevo, the Family Strengthening Project, children from at-risk families in the local community (at social, economic or other level) and children and youth with special needs. Work with younger beneficiaries is mainly based on social games, while work with our older youth populations is based on various creative and educative workshops. Volunteer will spend ten months of service in the Centre. It ill be very strong experience for both: volunteer and our beneficiaries. Namely, they will have a chance to see that meeting of different cultures, customs and heritage is two-way street and that as much as she has to offer, she will receive from locals. It includes participation of young people in planned activities. Also, considering that it is about work with children and youth of various ages, these activities will definitely help her to develop her creativity, mobility and professional skills under the supervision of professionals employed in the Centre. This kind of activity also should help her to increase her participation in society after she back to her country. Volunteer will also have a chance to work with children on increasing tolerance and organizing and actively participating in different workshops. This work will all be done under the supervision of professionals employed in our Centre. These professionals include Social Workers, Psychologists, Pedagogues, economists, Sociologists. As children and young people have already recognized Centre as a collaborative creation, volunteer will have a chance to take part in all this activities, including work (help and organization) in various workshops. Also, she will be our best assistance and they experiences will help us provide better services to all our beneficiaries at the same time providing her space for new experiences acquiring new skills and competences.
