Paragraph 1, page 88
Volunteer work of children and young people is also promoted since it helps building stronger communities and encourages learning new skills and civil responsibility. Within the scope of the call for proposals, 36 projects have been awarded in which 9,765 children will participate by the end of 2020; 185 sustainable development training programmes will be implemented for which HRK 31.5 million (app. EUR 4.25 million) have been planned.
Paragraph 2, page 100
Encouraging volunteer work - contributing to building sustainable communities - Podravka’s Association of Volunteers – PULS was founded in 2014 in Podravka, one of the leading food companies in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The aim was to bring together Podravka’s employees and all interested members of the local community to jointly build an environment which will champion the ideas of volunteer work and helping one another. The vision, passion, dedication and perseverance of its members led to the establishment of a system, which primarily aims to provide free aid to those in need, to maintain and enhance the quality of life of children, youth, elderly and disabled persons, and to provide free aid to institutions engaged in the education and care of children and social welfare activities.
