The following projects were developed within the youth-oriented programs of the organization Education for the 21st Century. Through interdisciplinary educational activities, research, and community engagement, these initiatives aim to encourage young people to actively explore cultural heritage, critically reflect on social diversity, and participate in inclusive learning environments. By combining experiential learning, field research, and creative interpretation of urban space, the projects empower students to become active participants in understanding the historical and cultural complexity of Belgrade.
BEOTURA (BEOgradska avanTURA)
BEOTURA is the shortened title of the project “BEOgradska avanTURA.” The project critically explores the cultural heritage of Belgrade by examining the different historical layers of the city and the diverse communities that have shaped its development.
Through research, guided explorations of urban spaces, and the creation of educational and digital materials, students investigate lesser-known sites and narratives connected to Belgrade’s past. Particular attention is given to the histories of various social groups and communities whose experiences are often overlooked in dominant historical narratives. The project therefore promotes a more inclusive and critical understanding of the city’s cultural heritage.
For Better Schools
“For Better Schools” was implemented with the support of the Municipality of Vračar during the school years 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. The project focused on fostering inclusion and strengthening cooperation within the school community.
Through workshops, collaborative learning activities, and community engagement, the project encouraged dialogue among students, teachers, and local stakeholders. Its aim was to promote values of diversity, participation, and mutual understanding, contributing to the development of a more inclusive educational environment.
