Wednesday
Wednesday - a day for a visit to the University of Chicago. We visited Northwestern University, which is located just outside of Chicago. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We had the opportunity together with the students who are part of DePaul McNair program to learn more about the life of the candidate, prcesu applying for doctoral studies, the choice of mentors, thesis topic and the like. Very instructive and interesting.
In the afternoon we visited the University of Illinois Chicago. There are prof. Vidaček and colleague Tadija Bagaric had presentations related to persons with disabilities and their status in Varazdin County. To all the participants was very interesting to hear about the good Croatian practice and efforts made to people with disabilities integrate into society. The discussion after the presentations allowed us to get to know the situation in America.
