RUMA – “SUPPORT TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES”

In Ruma, works are underway on the adaptation of the space in PVO “Poletarac” – the facility “Livade”. A mixed kindergarten group will be formed in the adapted space, which will be attended by children from Pavlovac and Ruma.

The project “Support for Equal Opportunities” has several specific goals: improving access to preschool services for children from vulnerable groups, equity – contributing to equal opportunities for learning and development of children from vulnerable groups, providing support to families to develop parental competencies and strengthening institutional capacity; organization in municipality for providing services to children and families from vulnerable groups. The Municipality of Ruma, preschool institution “Poletarac” Ruma, the Center for Social Work of Ruma, the Red Cross of Ruma and the Association for Assistance to Mentally Underdeveloped Persons of Ruma are participating in the realization of the project. Direct beneficiaries are children from birth to 6.5 years of age and their parents/guardians.

The realization of the first phase of the project is in progress, during which it is planned to increase the coverage of children in places where the need for greater inclusion of children in kindergarten is recognized. In the villages of Vitojevci and Grabovci, mixed kindergarten groups will be formed lasting 4 hours, which will include 40 children aged 2-5. In Klenk, two-hour diversified programs will be realized, in which we plan to include 22 children, also aged 2-5. In addition to this, various forms of support to families are planned with the aim of improving parental competencies – forums, advisory work, family visits, which will be implemented in compliance with epidemiological measures.
