As part of their Nature and Society lessons, while studying the topics “Serbia, My Homeland” and “Belgrade – The Capital of Serbia,” our students had the opportunity to enrich their classroom knowledge through first-hand exploration of the capital.
With maps in hand, they set off on a walk through Kalemegdan and the historic city centre, carefully observing their surroundings, completing tasks and discovering stories that reflect Belgrade’s rich history.
During their exploration, they visited some of the city’s most significant landmarks, including the National Theatre, the City Assembly, Belgrade Fortress, the Victor Monument and the Monument of Gratitude to France. From the Kalemegdan viewpoint, they also admired one of the capital’s most recognizable sights – the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
A special part of the day was learning together with the preschool children. Older students helped their younger friends, read signs, shared their knowledge and explored the history and landmarks of their city together.
Through activities like these, students gain knowledge not only from textbooks, but also through direct experience. They develop curiosity and learn to recognize, appreciate and preserve the cultural and historical heritage of their homeland.
Because Belgrade is not a city you can discover only through lessons – it is revealed, step by step, as you explore it.
