Savremena’s students promote tolerance

Savremena’s students actively work on improving the community and society they live in. Through a number of initiatives and competitions, students promote and spread positive values.

The How to be cool online? competition is a great way for Savremena’s students to take part in a campaign against cyber bullying by sending a creative message to spread the word of love and tolerance among their peers. By submitting a photo and a caption or comment through the How to be cool online? app, they are responding to the unacceptable act of cyber bullying on social media platforms in a real way.

How to be cool online?

With the help of the How to be cool online? app, which can be found on the Be a mate, Stop the hate Facebook page, students took part in the competition and promoted the positive values of the campaign. By taking part in the campaign, students contributed to the effort against cyber bullying in a creative way as they helped spread love, laughter and positivity in online communication.

The How to be cool online? project whose slogan is Be a mate, Stop the hate focuses on spreading tolerance and kindness and it was initiated in cooperation with UNICEF Serbia, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia and Telenor. The objective of the campaign is to inspire young people across the country and to raise their awareness on the consequences of careless and irresponsible conduct online and over social media platforms.

Promoting the right values

By taking part in other campaigns, Savremena International School students promote understanding, friendship and tolerance. Through direct involvement in the project and by designing their own entry in the competition, students attain the necessary information on cyber bullying as they learn how to recognise it, react to it while protecting themselves and others and ultimately effectively put a stop to it.

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
