International Meeting of Erasmus LEAF Project Coordinators Held at Savremena Gimnazija

Final meeting of six countries and project evaluation in Belgrade

The third and final meeting of the coordinators of the Erasmus+ LEAF project was held on 26 and 27 September at the premises of Savremena Gimnazija, bringing together representatives from Croatia, Romania, France, Greece, Italy, and Serbia. The LEAF project, which concludes in December this year, aims to educate students and teachers about biodiversity and the environment through community engagement.

Achieved results and resources for teachers

During the meeting in Belgrade, the coordinators discussed current results, challenges, and future steps of the project. As a result of the work of six countries, a handbook and an interactive platform for teachers were created, offering useful resources for classroom application. The handbook provides exercises and methods to improve teaching practices, while the platform offers tools that can be easily integrated into lessons.

After the meeting, participants had the opportunity to explore Belgrade with a professional guide and visit the bohemian quarter, Skadarlija, where they enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. This gathering symbolically marked the end of the two-year collaboration on the project and opened up new possibilities for future initiatives in environmental education.

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.
