CELEBRATION OF THE EUROPEAN DIVISION DAY

On the occasion of the European Day of Requirement, which is celebrated on March 6, the St. Joseph Worker’s Educational and Rehabilitation Center visited the students of Dr. Fr. Slavko Barbarić, Citluk. When visiting a speech theater as part of the center, students had the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of speech therapists and speech therapy equipment and tools used daily in the work of speech therapists. Also, students had the opportunity to get useful information about the speech therapy studio and find out what all the speech therapist was. Since graduates are interested in enrolling in this study, we believe that this visit was of great importance to them for the choice of life profession.
