Raising awareness of the culture and mythology of every part of Europe

The aim of this project was to raise awareness of the culture and mythology of every part of Europe based on the journeys that mythological and classical historical heroes experienced through our geography. Students from participating countries chose areas and characters that hold special significance for their respective countries, whether from legends or the real history of specific places. The idea was for all students to work in mixed groups to create a shared map of the mythological geography of Europe.
Throughout the project, technology was used to create a virtual route through each area. The result was a global collaborative project in which the mythical legends of each region, the cultural heritage of each civilisation, and the artistic heritage surrounding us were reconstructed. During the project, students used all the sources and information provided by new technologies and shared their learning experiences with other students from Greece, Spain, Italy, and Turkey.
The European Quality Label is just a confirmation of the high-quality collaborative work of the teachers and students of Savremena Gimnazija, further highlighting the fact that this school is truly different!

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

Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
