to take an active role in their communities.

The project in our school is coordinated by Sabrina Herceg,
with the support of many teachers:

Students have also contributed to preparing for the project. Ante Vučemilović-Šimunović, together with IT teachers Višnja Pešut and Goran Boneta, created school souvenirs. Tiziana Tončinić and Leona Pahljina decorated the school bulletin board,
while Una Mastrović and Iva Barbalić designed welcome flyers. Tin Karešin translated the famous rock song Učinimo nešto into English so our guests could understand it. Lana Rašević is preparing a recital of Tin Karešin's translation, while the Choir of GAM and PRHG will perform songs that proudly represent our region. We are still finalizing sponsorships, which will be announced in the final version of the program. At that time, we will also express our gratitude to the institutions and presenters who have supported us in making the project possible.
The school’s student journalists will document the
project and publish updates and impressions on the official website.
We hope our guests enjoy their stay and return to
our beautiful region in the future.
