We are non government & non profit organization „Suradnici u učenju“ (Partners in Learning) with twelve years of experience in educational context. Suradnici u učenju team started activities in 2008 by publishing digital magazine Pogled kroz prozor (A View through the Window). As NGO we are registered since 2011 as an association of teachers and educational professionals dedicated to creating a positive and stimulating environment in which educational professionals can share their experiences, get quality and up-to-date information, be creative and innovative and improve professionally. The association promotes the smart, purposeful and pedagogically meaningful use of digital technologies in all areas of education, lifelong training of educational professionals, promotion of all STEM areas, computational thinking, problem solving, learning to learn competences as well as responsible and safe use of the Internet. Teachers from more than 10 countries share examples of good practice through our digital magazine Pogled kroz prozor and the portal ucitelji.hr.
As an association, we enable teachers to show what and how they work and to teach us all through examples of good practice how to better adapt to today’s students and how to modernize teaching, learning and working methods. Simply put, we create a positive and stimulating environment in which educational professionals can share their experiences, get quality and current information, be innovative and creative, and constantly raise their competences.
Every year we carry out various activities on national, regional and international level in which students, teachers, parents, schools and local communities participate. Special emphasis was placed on the exchange of practical ideas, experiences and useful advice for parents and children in the world of new technologies.
We cooperate with the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education, the Agency for teacher training (AZOO), CARNET, the Agency for Mobility and EU Programs (AMPEU), the Agency for Vocational and Adult Education (ASOO), Microsoft, Google, Oracle, national and local authorities, schools and NGOs.
