Since 2016 our school cooperative ”Baranja” has been offering cosmetic, hairdressing and catering services. Students involved in the work of the cooperative have been developing a sense of humanitarianism and contributing to their local community through different activities. The profit from the cooperative is allocated to students from low-income households to cover costs like school trips or are donated as holiday coupons. The social awareness of teachers and students contributed to the interest and involvement in this project. Participation in SCoopCOnSS project is a great way to gain new knowledge about social entrepreneurship and to improve our activities in the future.
