Josipa Nemet on the podcast 'Željka Markić & Narod.hr': Childhood defense systems have failed

In a recent podcast episode, biochemist and molecular biologist Josipa Nemet discussed the shortcomings of childhood defense systems and the impact of ideology on public policies.

In the latest episode of the podcast 'Željka Markić & Narod.hr', Josipa Nemet, a biochemist and molecular biologist, shared her insights on the pressing issues surrounding children's rights and education. She critically addressed the so-called health education programs that have been proposed for schools in Zagreb, arguing that they undermine the development and well-being of children. Nemet emphasized the urgent need for a national dialogue on these issues, particularly focusing on how ideological influences are shaping public policy in ways that may not prioritize children's needs.

Nemet, who is also the president of the association Članak 64, highlighted their upcoming conference titled 'The Battle for Childhood', scheduled for April after the Easter holidays. This event is designed to galvanize public opinion against health education in schools, which they view as a threat to children's innocence and overall development. She pointed out that the association emerged from a grassroots initiative called 'Karte na stol', which was spurred by concerns over the implementation of health education in schools. The name Članak 64 signifies their commitment to defending children's rights as outlined in the Croatian Constitution, particularly in the context of contemporary challenges.

The podcast serves as a platform for discussing critical social issues, as it follows the previous format '55 Minutes with Željka Markić'. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of engaging various stakeholders in the debate over child welfare and education strategies, indicating a growing trend in Croatian civil society towards advocating for traditional values in the face of modern educational reforms. This discussion aligns with broader concerns in Europe about the influence of ideology in education and child development policies, positioning the association as a significant player in the ongoing cultural discourse in Croatia.
