As part of the project “Inclusive preschool education and care” implemented by the Ministry of education, science and technological development in partnership with the Novak Djokovic Foundation from a loan from the World Bank in the territory of the municipality of Brus another study room was adapted and equipped.

The specificity of the municipality of Brus is the great diversity and the great distance of families with small children from the rural area to the nearest educational groups, which makes it difficult to access PVO for each child. For this reason, preschool “Pahuljica” in Brus tries to include as many children as possible in school education.

By adapting and equipping one study room in Zlatari, the coverage of children aged 3 to 5,5 increased from 28,3% to 33,5% in the rural area, and at the same time the waiting list was reduced.

The coverage of children, especially from vulnerable groups, has increased: by mapping the place with the projection of the physical distance of families with children in rural areas, the village of Zlatari is the most favorable for increasing the coverage of children and creating conditions for their early development and attending the mandatory preparatory preschool program.

The local self-government provided funds for exterior and mechanical works, while the Novak Djokovic Foundation and the Ministry of education, science and technological development through the project “Inclusive preschool education” adapted and fully equipped the building.

The works involved the replacement of floors, walls, ceilings, joinery, lighting, as well as the installation of air conditioning. The new, adapted room (one mixed group) is fully adapted to the needs of children and educators and follows the new basics of the preschool education program.

In addition to furniture that has been selected and adapted to a mixed age group, the room is equipped with new toys, carpets, lazy bags, an easel for painting, books and necessary consumables.

In the new group in the territory of the municipality of Brus, 17 new children aged from 3 to 5,5 years were enrolled and the room was adapted and equipped in accordance with the needs of our youngest residents.

Preschool institution “Bosko Buha”, Palilula, as the holder of the project “Rastimo zajedno”, organized a tour of the Celtic village. The Celtic Village is a thematic tourist complex located in the sports and recreation area of Indjija, which is inspired by the life of the Celts in this area. Since we discovered that there are archaeological finds that say that the Celts were also settled in the territory of GO Palilula (Karaburma), we considered it important to learn something more about them. With the help of the guide Dragana, who is part of the Tourist Organization of Indjija, we heard stories, saw evidence that helped us experience how it was to live 2,300 years ago, and what it is that we inherited from the Celts, and what we still do today. We played and entered into various roles, and part of what we find today as evidence of their existence, we created with our own hands. And this time, the guests of the children, included in the project, were friends from the regular group of the “Mali princ” kindergarten.
