OFFS Croatia reveals plans for 2013

CCPA/OFFS Croatia reavels plan and program of activities for 2013.
In addition to 12 five-day OFFS with 200 children, we are planning to hold 15 OFFS with 100 children per school that last up to three days. These 3-day OFFS are suitable for communities in areas that do not have a sufficient number of children or are very distant from the other which requires high transport costs and safety risks children.
To successfully implement the planned OFFS schools, we have carried out training of leaders and trainers for the 2013 season. According to our pan, we held three OFFS seminars
Dvor na Uni – 22nd to 25th June 2013
The seminar in Dvor had the purpose of presenting new facilities, maintenance workshops on new content and preparation of seminars in Daruvar. Given the interest shown by our cross training friends, we strive to innovate the content at OFFS Bednja – Lepoglava – Videm (Slovenia). The leader and coach seminar at Palace was preceded by the seminar instructors and CCPA staff, which further enriched the program of work on the seminar in Dvor.
The leader and coach seminar was attended by 24 coaches, four leaders from the two schools Bednja-Lepoglava-Videm (SLO) and Sra?inec. The seminar was hosted by the national CCPA cooidinator and the CCPA Croatia office, and the theoretical and practical was conducted by our very skilled and experienced instructors Zlatko Stepi? and Vinko Bartolovi?. It was agreed to include new games for OFFS 2013.
The next leaders and coaches two seminars  we held in Daruvar.
