The project "Healthy as Gricko" is a cycle of workshops and campaigns aimed at pre-school children not covered by the regular kindergarten program, which focuses on adopting healthy nutrition and hygiene habits as a basis for general health. We want to help our children to adopt positive health habits, improve their health and quality of life.

In our workshops we have a lot of fun and laughter but we also do something very useful - we learn how healthy foods can be fine foods, learn how to properly brush the teeth, how to work together and practice how to communicate clearly and properly and work with friends, how to work in a team and how to peacefully settle small and big quarrels and misunderstandings. We play entertaining games in which we exercise our whole body, exercise strength, balance and dexterity, but also develop the finest and most accurate finger movements. We will also create the "Adventure of the Healthy Gricko" story - a story about one of the healthiest super heroes, boy Gricko, who saves the world with healthy snacks.

In addition to spending time together in the Community Center Rojc where rooms of our Association are located, we will also visit the Green Market, Stoja Hall, Sports Hall "Dom Braće Ribar", Istrian Health Center - Dental Clinic, and the City Library and reading room Pula.

The project is led by Mirjana Radulović who is a nurse and currently attending a graduate program in physiotherapy at the University of Maribor. She has a lot of experience in working with children, young people and the elderly. The project is implemented in cooperation with the Contact association and is co-financed by the city of Pula.
