Nismo Same

NISMO same is a non-profit organisation and a virtual project specialized in providing support and information to women diagnosed with cancer. The original idea to establish to launch the project came from Ivana Kalogjera, a long time journalist, who survived breast cancer. The feeling of isolation, lack of information and understanding, loneliness and confusion that she was feeling before and during the treatment, motivated Ivana to do something to raise the community's awareness on what the person suffering from cancer goes through physically and mentally. Notion that they are not alone in their disease plays important role in women’s recovery and NISMO same, as an online community, hopes to reassure women in that. The specificity of NISMO same with respect to other support organisations is that it focuses on survivors’ experiences, both good and bad ones, which it publishes online creating a virtual support community. By publishing true, personal and often highly emotional stories, NISMO same puts individual’s experiences under the spotlight. Simultaneously this helps demystify the illness and taboos that in our region usually accompany female cancer survivors (i.e. women that undergo a mastectomy are often perceived “damaged” by the community); and secures a unique online resource of information and comfort for everyone in need. In Croatia, but also in the region, before NISMO same an internet resource of that kind did not exist. The website traffic data corroborates the claim that a virtual place like NISMO same was needed regionally. In the first 5 months, with only sporadic advertising, more than 35 individuals visited the page contributing to more than 133 page views. The webpage has approximately active monthly users. While majority of visitors come from Croatia, the page registers increasing number of visits from neighboring countries, most notably Bosnia, Serbia and Slovenia. This proves the regional importance of the project.

The SPA has developed many different programs in the field of community-oriented psycho-social services, training and capacity building of psycho-social professionals.

Since 2003, SPA operates the “Modus”- Child, Adolescent and Family Community Center in Zagreb serving about 700 clients per year. SPA has pioneered several innovative services that became integrated in governmental services as a standard. These include: psychological crisis interventions after major incidents affecting community (since 1995), clinical supervision in the national social services (since 2003), psychosocial treatment of perpetrators of domestic violence (since 2004). In the scope of our activities we are promoting humanistic values (e.g. gender equality, gender-sensitive psychosocial work, zero tolerance for domestic violence and treatment of perpetrators of violence, not just their punishment) as well as systemic, multi-dimensional and multi-treatment approaches to clients, arguing for non-authoritarian relationships between the counselor and the client (i.e. empowering clients in the counseling process) and the expansion and introduction to the public and third sector of such programs. Psychological crisis interventions, treatment of family violence perpetrators, supervision for psychosocial professionals are some of SPA’s programs already accepted within the education and social welfare sectors in Croatia.”

Center For Inclusive Work Activities Ciwa

The Center for Inclusive Work Activities (CIWA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in November 2004, in Zagreb, Croatia. Access to quality, person-centered community-based services is an important precondition to the deinstitutionalization of people with intellectual disabilities, and to their successful inclusion and active participation in society. CIWA’s community-based supported work activities help its clients enter the world of work in and around Zagreb. CIWA advocates for the inclusion of people with intellectual difficulties in mainstream employment because the right to work is a basic human right. The experiences of companies who have been CIWA’s partners for years are very encouraging: they report that people with intellectual disabilities consistently demonstrate that they have the capacity to be respected and productive members of any team. Since 2004, CIWA has been providing supported work activities at our work center and, in partnership with employers, we have been successfully supporting the inclusion of people with intellectual difficulties into work on the open labor market. Being included in the world of work and being successful in performing various tasks increases self-confidence, dignity, happiness and promotes financial independence of the people involved. For companies concerned with social responsibility, and for socially conscious consumers, this matters.

Udruga Kultura Nova

Udruga Kultura Nova osnovana je 2009.g. sa ciljem promicanja, razvitka i unapređenja kulture. Zadatak Udruge je da se između ostaloga bavi društveno relevantnim i važnim temama, koje će ostaviti svoj trag u društvu u cjelini. Udruga svoje ciljeve ostvaruje kroz radionice kreativnog pisanja, organizacija književnih večeri, koncerata i promocija novih knjiga domaćih autora te kroz kazalište Kultura Nova. Kazalište, osnovano iz želje za promicanjem tolerancije i podizanja svijesti djece i mladih, kroz kazališne projekte obrazovnog karaktera otvara važne teme na način blizak djeci i mladima te tako čini male, ali sigurne korake prema boljem, obrazovanijem i senzibilnijem društvu, kakvom bismo svi trebali težiti. Budući da kazalište potiče emotivni i socijalni doživljaj, njegovi konzumenti vezuju temu uz priču i lica s kojima suosijećaju i koja razumiju. Djeca tako lakše usvajaju edukativne sadržaje i postaju njihovim sudionicima, te vrijednosti s kojima su se upoznali i koje su spoznali kroz kazališni doživljaj prepoznaju i primjenjuju u svakodnevnom životu.

U svojem radu Hrabri telefon se vodi načelima- dostupnosti (sve aktivnosti i usluge su besplatne za krajnje korisnike)- povjerljivosti (informacije o korisnicima se koriste isključivo za statističke obrade i analize i nisu dostupne javnosti) te - najboljih interesa djeteta (savjetovanje i podrška usmjeravane su ovim načelom). Također, u svakodnevnom radu organizacija je ulagala trud i napore u postizanje i poticanje pozitivnih promjena u društvu, ali i u vlastiti rast i napredak u pogledu stručnih standarda kvalitete u pružanju usluga krajnjim korisnicima kao i brige za zaposlenike i volontere kojih se više od 800 do sada uključilo u rad Hrabrog telefona.
