During the year we also focused on educating volunteers. In cooperation with the University of Trnava a series of professional lectures took place, intended mainly for social workers and volunteers, who are in direct contact with the client, but other volunteers could join. The lectures were given approximately once a month and each was devoted to a different topic: communication with a social client, individual planning in social counseling, legislation, coaching and accompanying the client, supervision, burnout syndrome. Dr. Renáta Jamborová was the main lecturer, but several guests also took turns: dr. Jozef Žuffa, dr. Martina Čierna and dr. Martin Šarkan. We thank them for their time and willingness to share their knowledge and experience with us.
The lectures were not only focused on theoretical knowledge, but they were complemented by practical training, discussion, sharing and various activities.
"Thank you, it was good and useful and we would also be happy for other seminars focused mainly on practical matters (communication skills, conducting an interview with the client ...)".
We also would like to continue in education in the future, because we can see that it makes sense and it can help us in our ministry.
