More about programs
How she became a HY Worker:
Before becoming a HY Worker, Ida used to work in many different professions. Working with the young generation in the team of Healthy Youth Workers, however, makes deep sense to her.
She believes that in order for something good to happen, much more needs to be done than what needs to be done for something bad. But this effort makes a huge sense, as she says.
Ida is convinced that the programs she brings to schools motivate children to create new life perspectives: she offers to them impulses to develop their personalities, to build better interpersonal relationships. She teaches them through her programs to make good decisions in different life situations.
Ida prefers long-term cooperation with schools. Thanks to that, she can go through the whole first and second degree with the children and she can establish a strong, lasting relationship with them, based on openness, authenticity and biblical values.
As Ida says herself, “When I stand in the classroom and after a busy activity, the students come up with something important for life, when a ‘loud silence’ breaks out in the debate on forgiveness, I know I’m exactly where I am supposed to be.”

“I like that the children are drawn into situations, can express their own experiences and gain a new perspective on interpersonal relationships.”
A teacher, 2nd grade; Let’s Be Friends
“A great program to recognize emotions in pupils – how to identify them and work with them. I appreciate the work using emotional smileys and the interaction through Ludvik – the puppet. Inspiring games suitable for further work with pupils.
Overall, I rate very positively.”
