Group Children’s parliament, that operates within Association „Naša djeca“ Zenica, every Saturday has workshops conceived towards current project activities. Currently, we are working on preparations for the interviews and focus groups, that will be conducted by children with Municipality representatives, local community representatives and Students council representatives. Since workshops have educational and entertaining character, facilitators are trying to make every workshop interesting by bringing in games as main component for workshops. In accordance with possibilities, they are trying to acknowledge children’s wishes and suggestions, so often workshops are being held in a little bit different ambient (for example going to the playroom).
Along with preparations for research, children and facilitators are working on making the action plan, which refers to prejudice breaking and raising awareness about children with disabilities. Children have recognized the significance of the mentioned problem, so they decided to give they contribution in giving attention to it. Within action plan, we will record video that will show common activities of Children’s parliament members and children with disabilities. This video will be shown on educational workshops/lectures that will be conducted in elementary schools by Children’s parliament members. One of the goals is to play this video on one of the Municipality council sessions, in order to send a better message.
