Workshop on "Responsible Parenthood" - 28th October 2014.

A workshop for the parents of Roma children attending the playroom in Children's Center "Morning Flower" in Vodnjan took place on 28th October 2014. The aim of this workshop was to raise the awareness of the importance of learning Croatian language from an early age. Workshop trainer, Mrs. Doris Velan, first presented a PowerPoint presentation on communication, language learning and the media. Afterwards she discussed with the parents the importance of the use of both languages. Parents who attended the workshop are aware of how important it is for their children to learn Croatian language. At the end of the discussion, parents asked various questions and talked about the problems they are facing in raising their children, in kindergarten and at school, and everyone discussed the possible solutions. The meeting was also attended by the educator of the playroom "Morning Flower", the members of Merlin Association and the journalist from Glas Istre, who wrote the article about this workshop.
