Ambassadors of goodwill: Savremena’s students at Bosi Fest

Students and teachers of International School Savremena have once again shown their social responsibility and understanding of the support to marginalised groups of people.

This time, Year 11 and their class teacher, Ms Ljubica Krstić, attended the Bosi Fest film festival devoted to the struggles and the position of people with disabilities in society.

An Alien Soul for raising awareness

The short documentary An Alien Soul was made by an Israeli film student with the Asperger syndrome. It explores the trials she goes through in the relations with other students, her creativity and her disability.

The spirit of equality nurtured at International School Savremena was once again evident when the whole class of Year 11 signed up to see this documentary.

It is essential for young minds to be aware of the challenges various social groups face every day, in this instance people with disabilities, in order for their own perception and acceptance of difference to be developed even further. Therefore, such extracurricular activities are encouraged and are of great importance, along with the students’ efforts towards academic excellence, said teacher Ljubica Krstić.

True values at Savremena

By participating in such events and activities, the students are exposed from their teen years to the demands of the multicultural and diverse global society.  

Festival

Previously, Savremena’s students visited the Christmas Charity Bazaar which included representatives from 51 countries, of different backgrounds and with diverse traditions. Also, a visit to the shelter was another activity in which the spirit of companionship and helpfulness was promoted by the students.

Furthermore, such activities encourage an open mind and a sense of acceptance. The students and teachers of International School Savremena will continue to promote the values of friendship, equality and selflessness, paving the way for future generations.

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
