On November 20th, Children’s Day at Savremena Primary School was marked in a truly unique way – students took on the roles of their teachers, school counselors, and psychologists, bringing a fresh atmosphere and immense joy to the school. This role-reversal day allowed students to step into the shoes of their educators and experience what it’s like to lead a lesson or provide guidance to their peers.

With great enthusiasm, students embraced the roles of their teachers, preparing lessons in various subjects, from music and Serbian language to physical education, English, and STEM activities. Classrooms buzzed with smiles, creative tasks, and exciting interactions as their peers enjoyed new approaches and unique perspectives brought by fellow students acting as teachers.

Beyond the fun, this day offered students a chance to experience the challenges and joys that come with the responsibilities of the teaching profession. Preparing lessons, managing groups, and explaining material in engaging ways were just some of the skills students had the opportunity to develop. Their teachers, meanwhile, provided support, served as assistants, and acted as discreet mentors, ensuring everything ran smoothly and the students felt confident in their new roles.

The school was filled with positivity, laughter, and pride throughout the day. Students demonstrated creativity, responsibility, and teamwork, while their peers enthusiastically participated in the lessons, enjoying the innovative learning approaches. Activities were tailored to different age groups, ensuring everyone found something inspiring and motivating.

This role-reversal day allowed students to better understand the work of their teachers and professional staff, while also fostering respect for their efforts and role in school life. This special day will remain a cherished memory as a moment when roles were reversed, and the school became a place where learning and fun intertwined in the most delightful way.
