Support to schools and universities<\/strong><\/p>\n

ORCA offers continuous advisory support to pre-school, elementary and high-school teachers, psychologists and pedagogues to apply animal welfare contents in their work. Since 2007\/08 school year, ORCA has been conducting the programme of professional development of participants in education called \u2018\u2019Animal welfare and us\u2019\u2019, certified by the national Institute for improvement of education. This programme has been conducted by ORCA educators \u2013 teachers, psychologists and pedagogues with extensive experience in working in education and who have participated in national and international animal welfare education trainings and training for trainer seminars.<\/p>\n

The teaching units we offer are developed in a way that they can be applied in class or other educational work. The units are supported with different materials that make adopting knowledge easier (info sheets, photos, video materials) and all contents were created in cooperation with workers in education, in consultation with pedagogues and psychologists and through practical educational work.<\/p>\n

If you are a pre-school or school teacher \u2013 visit our web presentation dedicated to animal welfare education. There you can download our teaching materials free of charge and read experiences of other participants.<\/p>\n

Support to biology teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n

ORCA offers advisory support to biology teachers in elementary and high-schools for replacement of laboratory animals used for conducting practical education.<\/p>\n

The animal welfare law (\u201eOfficial Gazette of the Republic of Serbia nr. 41\/09) that came in force in 2009, legislates that experiments on animals can be performed in educational purposes only if they don\u2019t cause: pain, suffer, fear, stress, injury or death of the animal; in other words it is allowed to perform only observational practical education on alive animals (Article 44, Paragraph 2).<\/p>\n

In order to encourage implementation of contemporary methods in education, we provide continuous support and advisory services to employees in education, as well as needed educational resources<\/p>\n
