"School and Household" Project - Supporting the Oldest Primary School in Semberija

The informal group "Darodavaoci" applied for the public call of the Local Foundation Bijeljina for small grants, co-financed by i-platform BiH. On October 18, 2024, the "School and Household" project will be realized, through which we have decided to support the oldest primary school in Semberija, "Petar Kočić" Primary School in Brodac, whose history dates back to 1885.

From the school's special education teacher, we learned about the dedicated work with children with developmental difficulties, as well as with all students who wish to express their creativity. The children in this school create bags, jewelry, and various objects using paper, cardboard, pine cones, glitter, and many other materials.

It is important to emphasize the values that are developed in children through this work, such as responsibility, a strong work ethic, and creativity.

As part of the project, an event titled "My School with the soul of a creator" is planned, which will include recitals about the school's history, a fashion show, and a charity exhibition. We expect many guests, and for the youngest, a fun program and a cocktail reception will be organized. During the fashion show, the children will present the bags they have sewn and decorated themselves.

The school will receive books as a gift from i-platform – reading material for all grades from 1st to 9th. The goal of i-platform is to connect the diaspora and promote important values, with education being one of the most essential.
