Slovak Motivators

, ,

The ELS Pro scholaris discussions are held with local entrepreneurs, politicians and writers where students can develop their sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, including know-how, motivation, creativity, innovation and courage, as well as the ability to plan and perform tasks in order to achieve established papers. On February 13, 2018, our students and teachers together with the directors of other ZSK schools could participate in a discussion with Mr. Branislav Gröhling, who presented his suggestions for changes in education at Slovak schools. On May 7th, our visit was honored by Ing. Peter Hajduček – founder of footshop. We spent a pleasant afternoon together as we approached our business and introduced the marketing strategies that make his company among the top leaders in selling sneakers. Footshop is not just a shoe store, but is also involved in various projects designed for young people. As the Private SOŠ Pro scholaris is still planning its short-term student exchange in Slovakia, it is obvious that the number of extra-curricular organizations participating in the ELS project will increase. We plan to cooperate with several banks and financial managers, as well as financial advisers, who will provide a professional page of the project and also help with the next ELS day.

Eating habits of teenagers ….healthy or not?

,

This is the first chapter of Essential Life Skills Guidebook which can help you understand importance of healthy nutrition, especially in lives of young people.

During puberty, the dietary requirements of adolescents are particularly high, because on the one hand there is an acceleration of growth and on the other hand an increase in their physical activity. Also, at this time the teen wants to move away from their family and shape a new,individual, independent personality. At the same time, the adolescent’s need to be admitted by his/her peers leads to whims in both dressing and eating habits. So teenagers miss out on meals, eat snacks, prefer fast-food restaurants, and begin to consume alcohol or smoke at younger ages. It is a commonly accepted fact that the harmful eating habits of adolescents, as well as the pressure they receive from the social and especially the family environment, render them vulnerable to eating and mental disorders such as obesity, depression, bulimia etc. Family information as well as school education can help significantly in the prevention of eating disorders, as well as the adoption of proper nutrition habits during childhood and adolescence.
