The promotion of our school professions takes place every year at 14 elementary schools, which are mainly attended by students of the final classes of elementary schools who have previously shown interest in a particular profession.
The profession is represented by those who have been working in this field for many years and can provide information based on their own experience.
By storytelling (about professions, opportunities, future, social security, employment), we put the person, at the center.
The presentation usually includes a short presentation film, a PowerPoint presentation, an interactive (workshop) presentation of the chosen profession, a conversation with someone who is successful in the represented profession, demonstrations, sharing of (interesting, attractive and instructive) information materials about the profession, games that bring the profession closer.
