Welcoming the participants of the Event, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan touched upon the conceptual issues that should stem from the best interests of the child, considering in that context the need to work with pedagogical and parental communities. Zh. Andreasyan emphasized the need to ensure an inclusive environment in educational institutions, highlighting the importance of addressing issues appropriately and formulating actions in a logical and coherent manner. The Minister also attached importance to continuous dialogue and interaction with stakeholders, as well as the collection of information through feedback, which is aimed at identifying current problems in the field of education and improving mechanisms for solving them. “Developed guidelines, manuals, and workbooks are precisely the tools that make everyday work more comprehensible, systematic, and, in terms of results, more predictable.”

DEAR COLLEAGUES,
We continue the series of webinars conducted in collaboration with the Republican Pedagogical-Psychological Center and the Perkins School for the Blind organization.
We present to you our next webinar.
Topic: “VISUAL STIMULATION AND VISUAL EXERCISES”
Speakers: Nikolina Mihalić Kocijan and Andrea Paulik, experts from “Perkins International” organization
Children with visual impairments have difficulty in perceiving information from their surroundings. As a result of not receiving sufficient visual stimulation from the environment, their visual pathways develop with difficulty. This webinar will focus on visual stimulation and vision exercises, their differences, and the characteristics of each of them. Participants will gain insight into the steps, aims, timelines, and implementation methods for initiating and executing programs, as well as approaches and means that contribute to the development of various visual and cognitive skills, observing the child’s behavior during each intervention.
The Webinar will take place on September 24, 2025, at 8:00 p.m.
To participate, please register in advance by September 24, 2:00 p.m., through the following link:
