necessity of work for one’s life, especially nurturing the traditional professions and

working in harmony with nature and preservation of the environment.

The following are some of the many tasks of the

cooperative:

• arrange and enrich the living space in which pupils spend their school days

• develop and cultivate working habits• Help pupils to develop the love of nature and

raise awareness about sustainable development of human society

• contribute to the transfer of knowledge from teaching to practical activities

• enable the realization of personal interests, and therefore self-affirmation, and finding one’s own preferences and abilities

• prepare students to choose appropriate school programs in further education

• work on small projects to enable preparation for the modern entrepreneurship

THE FLORISTIC SECTION• By working on the land,

sowing and planting, children learn to love the soil and plant from the sprouting and emergence to the fruit.

• Working in the school garden, park or flower garden under the supervision of teachers, students transfer the theoretical knowledge from the teaching to practice and vice versa, from the practice to the teaching process.
