On October 27, at the invitation of the School Council, as part of the project “Colors of Life”, Ms. Halina Jurkowska – Director of the Natural Medicine and Psychotherapy Center in Katowice and the publisher of the magazine “Closer to health, closer to nature” came to the youth of the Technical School No. 4 for Transport. Taking the action of the “pink ribbon”, the Director delivered a lecture to the students on the impact of nutrition on our health. She paid particular attention to contemporary civilization diseases, among them the disturbing phenomena of female oncological diseases, which have been intensified in recent years. She presented methods of preventing these diseases and indicated natural methods of preventing the escalation of cancer development, such as healthy eating, physical exercise, smart supplementation, avoiding stimulants and good mental condition. Everything was supported by an interesting presentation of slides and a reference to extensive scientific research on the subject. Young people listened to the lecture with great concentration, and then started the discussion, asking questions about the most intriguing issues. The meeting was held in a very cordial atmosphere and made everyone aware of the need for further meetings and lectures in the interest of young people’s health and development.

On October 22, 2021. Seniors and Seniors participated in group classes with a psychologist organized as part of the “E-Senior” project. During the meeting, the participants shared their observations, interests and reflections. These introductory activities served to establish closer contacts and build positive relationships in the group.

The European Seniors Day is celebrated on October 20. On this special day, we wish all the elderly only happy days, filled with health, joy and happiness. A lot of respect and love from loved ones. Let the well-being, smile on your face and energy accompany you every moment, and let the autumn of life inspire you to make your dreams come true and inspire you with optimism.
We also wish all of you that your mature age will be a time of activity, full of passion and possibilities, and at the same time a time of fulfillment, satisfaction and the feeling of finding the right place in your life.

Breast cancer prevention consists of screening tests (so-called screening), i.e. carrying out tests aimed at detecting the cancer when there are no symptoms of the disease, and taking active measures to detect the cancer as early as possible (secondary prevention).

Breast cancer diagnosed early can be successfully treated. The smaller the tumor or the detected lesion in the breast that is not palpable by manual examination, the greater the probability that it is a non-invasive (i.e. non-metastatic) type of cancer. Also, when an invasive cancer is detected, the smaller it is, the more likely it is that it has not yet metastasized to the lymph nodes, and the greater the possibility of a curable treatment.

The following tests are used to detect breast changes early:

• self-examination of the breast by a woman
• medical examination at each check-up at the family doctor and gynecologist
• breast ultrasound
• mammography
• participation in the Breast Cancer Early Detection Program

Starting from October 10, the SMART Foundation for Education, together with the Technical Secondary School No. 4 Transport at CKZiU in Sosnowiec, is implementing a project entitled: “Colors of Life”.
The aim of the project is, among others:
– sensitizing young people to the needs of others,
-increasing knowledge about various diseases that affect or threaten young people if they do not take care of their health in advance.

The project was initiated by students and graduates of Technical Secondary School No. 4 Transport and is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps.

The project will last one year – until 10/10/2022 and each month will be devoted to a different disease entity. We start with the prevention of breast cancer – hence October is the PINK month.
