               Volunteering –  Sensitization to the Needs of Others

               (Example of GoodPpractice)


               Volunteering  among  today's  youth  -  crucial  for  the  development  of  empathy  and  social
               responsibility among students, important for the personal development of students, they become
               more aware of problems in society, but also of the possibility to change something in their own
               and other lives  with  their presence  and action.  How much volunteering is  actually present
               among our students?
               The goal of volunteering is, through interaction with different groups of people, to develop
               awareness and empathy towards groups that face different life challenges. Volunteering will
               develop students' social skills and self-confidence, motivate them to get involved in socially
               useful activities, but also teach them to recognize the importance of caring for the common
               good. The volunteer club of the Road Traffic School is active in volunteering outside the school.
               Volunteering in a soup kitchen gives students the opportunity to directly, through sorting and
               distributing  food,  help  people  in  need  -  this  experience  encourages  the  development  of
               compassion and solidarity, and students become more aware of the problems of poverty and
               hunger.
               Volunteering at the hospital, through play and storytelling, enables students to provide support
               to  young  patients.  Students  develop  patience,  empathy,  communication  and  learn  what
               humanity and concern for others are.
               Volunteering at shelters for abandoned animals encourages students to take responsibility and
               care for pets and abandoned animals. By making toys from old t-shirts, they support recycling.
               Volunteering is a way of sensitizing students to the needs of others. Through concrete examples
               of volunteering in soup kitchens, hospitals and shelters for abandoned animals, students develop
               empathy,  social  skills  and  a  sense  of  social  responsibility.  Teachers  have  a  responsibility
               towards young people and are obliged to support and encourage volunteering among students
               so that, one day, they will have a big-hearted society. By volunteering, we give a lot to others
               and do a lot for ourselves.

               Key words: volunteering, empathy, sensitization, responsibility, concern for the common good
