The final meeting of the project

The two-year Erasmus+ project "TOGETHER" has reached its final stage, so on that occasion, the last joint meeting of all partners was held in Brussels. The teachers of Savremena Gimnazija, Natalija Stanković and Milica Aleksić, who are the participants in this project, also attended the meeting.

The aim of the meeting was to summarise the gathered information about the testing of the TOGETHER platform and give feedback received from end users, that is, the teachers, in order to improve the perceived shortcomings. After that, the platform will be ready for use and promoted as a new portal for staying informed about the service learning method, but also as a base with numerous ready-made resources and projects that teachers can immediately implement or use as inspiration for the digitisation of cultural heritage into their local community.

The importance of motivating students to address the problems around them

All the partners showed great satisfaction that they had the opportunity to participate in this project, which they believe is of great importance for every community, regardless of the country. Also, the importance of involving students in the life of the local community by applying the knowledge and skills learned at school and the motivation to address the problems around them was highlighted.

At the very end, the partners from eight countries agreed that this should be the first step in their cooperation and parted with the hope that they will soon work together on a future Erasmus+ project.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
