Club "Latica"

The purpose is to prepare people with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities for independent living through the preparation and processing of food and the preparation of simple meals. At the same time, they learn to keep the cooking area clean as well as the proper use and maintenance of cutlery.

Creative creativity, thinking and expression are encouraged in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each user has the opportunity to express their opinion and view of other people's works, thereby developing critical thinking and their own attitude.

Through workshops, they learn the process of making products, preparing materials, modeling, drying, retouching, firing and painting ceramics, which will contribute to the creation of unique items that will promote the Association.

Exercises are performed that are tailored to each individual and their abilities to improve their functional status and to perform activities of daily living. They are performed individually and in groups, and users are encouraged to exercise daily outside the association.

They include visits to various events, gatherings of related associations, and cooperation with public institutions where works created by our users are presented.

It includes recognizing different types of instruments and musical genres through quizzes, learning the words to songs accompanied by guitar.

Members of the association carry out activities outside the institution itself, which enriches their free time and also improves social and communication skills outside of their usual everyday life. They are more actively involved in the community, thereby developing a sense of belonging, increasing their sense of self-confidence, and also have the opportunity to change certain stereotypes related to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Through activities, users are given the opportunity to open up and communicate more easily and to adopt concepts more easily. At the same time, the activity is carried out in a group, thereby strengthening group dynamics and cooperation, and the users are encouraged by sensitization, open their own physical vocabulary and expand the existing one, regardless of disability.
