Seventh year in a row, project schools across Serbia mark Days of education for democratic culture. This unique event was established in the first phase of Horizontal Facility programme under the action "Fostering democratic culture in schools in Serbia” and is now maintained in the action "Quality education for all". With 36 mentor schools actively participating, the celebrations unfolded through a diverse array of activities, bringing students, local communities, parents, and other local schools together.
The aim of marking this Day is to point out the importance of fostering a democratic school culture. The enduring nature of this event underscores a steadfast commitment to the ideals of democracy in Serbian education. From its inception, the Days of education for democratic culture have evolved into a significant annual milestone, symbolising the collective dedication to nurturing a democratic school culture.
Each mentor school takes pride in organising this event and extend invitations to the media, local community, parents, and neighbouring schools. This inclusive approach ensures that the impact of the Days of education for democratic culture goes beyond the individual educational institutions, to include the broader community.
The significance of the Days of education for democratic culture is further underscored by the active participation of representatives from the Ministry of Education and other key education institutes.
The Days of education for democratic culture exemplify a sustained commitment to shaping a future generation that not only comprehends the significance of democratic values but actively participates in upholding them.
The action Quality education for all is implemented under the joint European Union/Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye“.
