The long-term cooperation of the Republic Centre – PORAKA with the Institute for Social Work and Social Policy at the Faculty of Philosophy of UKIM in Skopje continues to be successfully realized in the past period as well. Within the subject “Social work with persons with disability”, the students have the opportunity for practical work at the day centres of the Republic centre – PORAKA in Skopje.
The students have been included in direct activities with the users at the Day Centres, in order to be introduced with the function of the Day Centres as important social services for persons with intellectual disability and their families. At the same time, they had the possibility to be introduced to the role of the social worker in the implementation of the programme activities in these social services.
