4. Pupils and students in holidays program

Nowadays, many parents are not at home all the time to take care of their children. Because of this, many children spend all their time in front of the television screens watching movies and most of the time not educational ones. Many others spend the whole day walking and visiting friends who are not most of the time good ones.
To give their contribution to the solution of the problem, CLUB-SPIC set up the program that helps children in long holidays. The children are helped to have good holidays combined with education through plays, debates, conversations that help the students to develop positive values, good ways of behaving and develop their different talents.
