The Life Skills program at Savremena osnovna škola once again demonstrated its true value by providing eighth-grade students with the chance to meet pilot Slobodan Simović. During this inspirational meeting, Simović shared his extensive experiences from the world of aviation, discussing the challenges and responsibilities that come with this profession.

Students had the opportunity to hear firsthand what a day in the life of a pilot looks like, how to handle stressful situations, and how to make important decisions in a short time. Simović emphasised the importance of education, patience, and perseverance as key factors for success, which sparked great interest and numerous questions among the students.

Through its innovative Life Skills program, Savremena osnovna škola enables students to acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that will be useful in their everyday lives. The program is designed to provide students with real experiences and knowledge that will help them become independent, make responsible decisions, and successfully tackle challenges.

Pilot Slobodan Simović’s visit was part of a broader concept within the Life Skills program, which addresses themes such as everyday problem-solving, developing emotional intelligence, and preparing for future careers. Simović motivated students to consider different professional paths and highlighted the importance of following their dreams, with the message: “The sky is not the limit, but just the beginning.”

Through such encounters, the Life Skills program broadens students’ horizons and encourages them to actively think about their futures. Simović’s visit was just one of many events helping students understand how theory can become practice and how vital it is to invest in developing skills that will benefit them in the real world.
