On 14 June 2026, DPTU Bucim DOOEL Radovish organized a creative and educational workshop for the children of its employees, titled “Minerals Through Children’s Eyes”.
The workshop was part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to building a work environment in which employees are recognized not only through their professional roles, but also as individuals, parents, and members of the wider Bucim community. Through activities of this kind, the mine reaffirms its commitment to fostering a culture of belonging, respect, and care for employees and their families.
“For us, care for employees does not end with the working day. Bucim is a community built by people, their families, knowledge, and mutual trust. That is why, for the second year in a row, we have continued to develop this practice, giving the children of our employees the opportunity to feel welcome, to become familiar with the world in which their parents work every day, and to experience mining through curiosity, creativity, and imagination. It is especially important to us that their drawings and ideas do not remain only part of the workshop, but continue to live through an exhibition, as an honest and creative reflection of how the youngest see nature, minerals, and the work of Bucim,” said Kristina Krsteva, Director of Sustainable Development at DPTU Bucim DOOEL Radovish.
Instead of a traditional lesson, the children had the opportunity to discover the world of minerals through play, color, conversation, and drawing, in a way that was close to their age and understanding. They asked questions about what lies beneath the ground, what minerals look like, why they are important, and what their parents actually do at work.
Minerals are not only part of mining. They are part of the earth, nature, and many things we use in everyday life. That is why activities like this hold special value, as they bring the industry closer to the youngest generation in a simple, warm, and understandable way.
Bucim will continue to support activities that strengthen the connection between the mine, its employees, and their families, as an important part of its organizational culture and long-term commitment to people.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the young participants for their curiosity, imagination, and honest view of the world of minerals.
