During their Civic Education class, the students of Savremena Primary School marked one of the important national holidays – the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and the National Flag. This special class was an opportunity for the pupils, through group work, to develop a sense of togetherness, respect for tradition, and belonging.
Through discussion and practical work, the pupils learned that the flag is not just a symbol, but also a sign of identity and values that unite people. In a way suitable for their age, children realised that they are part of a wider community and that each generation has an important role in preserving national values. The class thus became an experience to be remembered far beyond the classroom.

The kids worked together to draw and colour the Serbian flag, and this activity carried a much deeper meaning than simple artistic expression. Group work encouraged cooperation, idea sharing, and a sense of belonging to the team. The children learned that everyone contributes to a common goal and that the effort of each individual is valued and recognised.
Through creating together, they learned how a team is built, how important it is to listen to others, and how to support their peers. Each child had their own role, but only together were they able to complete the task – an experience that leaves a strong message about the power of unity. Such activities inspire children to value collaboration just as much as individual achievement.

By working with national symbols, the pupils learned about the importance of the flag and the values it represents – unity and belonging. In this way, through a practical and creative task, they developed awareness of their identity, tradition, and culture, which is one of the key tasks of modern education.
For children of this age, classes like this are a precious opportunity to connect what they learn with real life and the history of their country. The creative activity helped them to build a sense of pride and respect for their tradition in a simple and understandable way. In doing so, they gained the foundation for the development of both personal and collective identity that they will continue to nurture throughout their lives.

Such classes show that civic education is not just theory, but a living practice that helps children become responsible, tolerant, and aware citizens. The pupils learned that respect for diversity and love for their country go hand in hand, and such knowledge prepares them to one day become active and conscientious members of society.
Through discussion and group work, the children understood that civic values begin with the simplest things – from mutual respect to working together on tasks. They actively participated in discussions, asked questions, and exchanged ideas, which gave them the opportunity to learn from one another. In this way, civic education became a practical experience, not just a theoretical subject.

Through such activities, Savremena Primary School confirms that education is not only about transferring knowledge from books, but also about shaping values and character. By drawing and colouring the flag, pupils developed their creativity, as well as important social and emotional skills – teamwork, empathy, and a sense of belonging. These are the foundations on which not only successful students, but successful people are built.
Such experiences help children to understand the importance of values such as responsibility, cooperation, and respect, and to apply them outside of school as well. Savremena offers its students the opportunity to grow into individuals who know how to think, feel, and act in accordance with the values of the community. In this way, the foundations are laid for generations that will build the society of the future.
