The Heritage of Multiconfessional Belgrade project began in 2011 as an initiative started by students and teachers from the Fourteenth and Sixth Belgrade Gymnasiums. It started as a typical school project but evolved into a quest to uncover the hidden layers of Belgrade, to explore what often goes unnoticed yet shapes the city's diversity.
What was the concept? The idea was for students to explore the city's sacred sites: from the remaining synagogue, through the understated Belgrade Archdiocese, to the mysterious mosques and lesser-known Orthodox churches. The goal wasn’t just to visit these locations, but to reinterpret their meaning in modern Belgrade through their own perspective—whether through art, writing, or photography.
The students created a true visual map of the city—images, photographs, and essays about the most beautiful and intriguing religious and cultural monuments became bridges between past and present generations. They organized exhibitions filled with stories about daily beliefs, traditions, and customs that make this city come alive.
Through all of this, the students learned how diverse their fellow citizens are, and how these differences make Belgrade what it is—a blend of traditions, cultures, and identities.
