"One changes the world" puts the spotlight on physical education teachers, who with their expertise and love for the profession build the foundations for a healthy life for our children. This week, the sports caravan of the Montenegrin Olympic Committee, the companies One and Sport Vision, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, led by a golden lion Ivon Pavićević arrived with a valuable donation of sports equipment to one of the oldest primary schools in Podgorica, "Milorad Musa Burzan".
"We believe that physical education is one of the most important subjects during schooling, because childhood is the time when we build the foundations for our entire life. It is extremely important that children love sports at an early age and that movement is a part of their lives forever. That's why the role of teachers who teach this subject is so important, that's why we honor them through our initiative "One changes the world". We believe that the power of one can really do good and change the world. It is universal, regardless of the profession, and it is especially important when working with children," she said Ivona Pavićević, Montenegrin handball player.
In Elementary School "Milorad Musa Burzan", teachers point out that in the time of technological progress and obvious physical inactivity, physical education and physical activity must be a priority of modern schools.
"Today, children have the opportunity to sit at home and finish all their duties, for which they once had to go out and walk. Therefore, well-organized and guided physical education classes become a basic task for us teachers. The game is the best way to rest the body and mind in an active way. "Physical education class must be fun and a safe space for them to grow," he said Bojan Baranin, physical education teacher at Milorad Musa Burzan elementary school.
"Children are less and less physically active, their attention is divided between school duties, exciting content on the Internet, games, and social networks. This is exactly why physical education and general education are more important today than ever. I believe that if, as teachers, we manage to make children fall in love with sports through our classes, we make them go in the right direction, that we enable them to be healthy, happy, smiling, communicative and physically active!", he emphasized. Danilo Strugar, physical education teacher at Milorad Musa Burzan elementary school.
Emphasizing the role of important figures in their lives, the Olympic network project, guided by the idea of community, promotes Olympic values among the youngest.
"We are extremely proud of the "One changes the world" project, which we designed from the heart, and which everyone - children, parents, teachers and the whole community - is looking forward to. Today we are at the "Milorad Musa Burzan" school, where I took my first steps in school as well as sports. I am glad to witness today the dedicated attitude of both the school administration and the physical education teachers themselves to this, I can freely say, the most important subject for the psychophysical development of every child. In addition to taking care of our children's health, physical education teachers teach their students important life values such as teamwork, respect, solidarity, but also persistence and determination. That is why they are the physical education teachers at the center of this project. They are the ones who change the world!” she pointed out Jelena Marković Čađenović in front of the One company.
Just such a memory, the most beautiful one that implies movement and play, will be carried into the future by the students of this great school in the capital city, together with their teachers, after this sports gathering.
