16.11. International Day of Tolerance
Today we celebrate International Day of Tolerance. This recognises the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. People are naturally diverse; only tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed communities in each region of the globe. In 1996. The United Nations General Assembly called on its members to mark a day of respect and appreciation for the different, in line with the 1995 Declaration on the Principles of Tolerance of UNESCO, which defines tolerance not only as a moral duty, but also a legal and political obligation for the individual, social groups and states. Tolerance implies respect, acceptance and appreciation of diversity in world cultures as well as forms of expression, will and aspiration to accept and respect diversity, regardless of political belief, religious, age, racial or gender differences.
Danas obilježavamo Međunarodni dan tolerancije. Time se priznaju univerzalna ljudska prava i temeljne slobode drugih. Ljudi su prirodno raznoliki; samo tolerancija može osigurati opstanak mješovitih zajednica u svakoj regiji zemaljske kugle. Godine 1996. Opća skupština Ujedinjenih naroda pozvala je svoje članice na obilježavanje dana poštovanja i uvažavanja drugačijih, u skladu s Deklaracijom o načelima tolerancije UNESCO-a iz 1995. godine koja definira toleranciju ne samo kao moralnu dužnost, već i pravnu i političku obvezu za pojedinca, društvene skupine i države. Tolerancija podrazumijeva poštovanje, prihvaćanje i uvažavanje različitosti u svjetskim kulturama kao i forme izražavanja, volju i težnju prihvaćanja i uvažavanja različitosti, neovisno o političkom uvjerenju, vjerskim, dobnim, rasnim ili spolnim razlikama.
18.11. Remembrance Day for the victims of Vukovar 1991
Croatia marks Remembrance Day in honour of Vukovar's sacrifice and its heroic defenders. It is a day of thanksgiving, memory and national pride. A day when we remember our fallen heroes. Every year, thousands of Croatians flock to Vukovar to commemorate this day. Tens of thousands of people gathered on Thursday in the city and joined the commemorative Vukovar remembrance procession. The procession went through the streets of Vukovar as those in it expressed gratitude to Croatian defenders and people who suffered during the Homeland War.
Remembering Vukovar, a city that will forever be a hero:

3.12. International Day of Persons with Disabilities
International Disability Day is celebrated on 3 December with activities promoting understanding of the issue of disability and mobilising support enabling the dignity, realisation of rights and well-being for persons with disabilities.
People with disabilities are people who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments, which in interaction with different obstacles can prevent their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. Therefore, it is important to "put yourself in the shoes" of those who permanently or occasionally need our help in order to better understand them and understand the necessity of adaptation to people with disabilities, their characteristics and specifics of functioning, as well as the limitations that are the consequences of damage and illness on the one hand, but also the obstacles that modern society places on the other.
UN figures show that more than a billion people in the world have some form of disability, and more than 100 million people with disabilities are children. As far as Croatia is concerned, according to data from the Croatian Institute of Public Health in March this year, there are more than half a million people with disabilities living in our country. They make up about 12% of the total population.
Every year, International Disability Day is celebrated with a different theme, and this year's theme is: "Leadership and participation of people with disabilities towards an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world."
We change attitudes, learn tolerance, respect for diversity, patience, humanity, empathy – ultimately we create a more educated and sensitive society in which children with developmental disabilities will successfully grow up as future active and equal members of the community with support.
Reaching out, giving a smile, to the little things – we make the world bigger and better!
Međunarodni dan osoba s invaliditetom obilježava se 3. prosinca uz aktivnosti promicanja razumijevanja problematike invaliditeta i mobilizacije podrške koja omogućuje dostojanstvo, ostvarenje prava i dobrobiti osobama s invaliditetom.
Osobe s invaliditetom su osobe koje imaju dugotrajna tjelesna, mentalna, intelektualna ili osjetilna oštećenja, koja u međudjelovanju s različitim preprekama mogu sprječavati njihovo puno i učinkovito sudjelovanje u društvu na ravnopravnoj osnovi s drugima. Stoga je važno „staviti se u cipele“ onih koji trajno ili povremeno trebaju našu pomoć kako bismo ih bolje razumjeli i shvatili nužnost prilagodbi osobama s invaliditetom, njihove karakteristike i specifičnosti funkcioniranja, kao i ograničenja koje su posljedice oštećenja i bolesti s jedne strane, ali i prepreka koje im suvremeno društvo postavlja s druge strane.
Brojke UN-a govore da više od milijardu ljudi u svijetu ima neki oblik invaliditeta, a više od 100 milijuna osoba s invaliditetom su djeca. Što se Hrvatske tiče, prema podacima Hrvatskog zavoda za javno zdravstvo iz ožujka ove godine, u našoj zemlji živi više od pola milijuna osoba s invaliditetom. Oni čine oko 12% ukupnog stanovništva.
Svake se godine Međunarodni dan osoba s invaliditetom obilježava drugom temom, a ovogodišnja tema je: „Vodstvo i sudjelovanje osoba s invaliditetom prema uključivom, dostupnom i održivom svijetu nakon COVID-19.”
Mijenjamo stavove, učimo se toleranciji, poštivanju različitosti, strpljenju, humanosti, empatičnosti – u konačnici stvaramo obrazovanije i senzibilnije društvo u kojem će uspješno odrastati djeca s teškoćama u razvoju kao budući aktivni i ravnopravni članovi zajednice uz podršku.
Pružajući ruku, darujući osmjeh, malim stvarima – činimo svijet većim i boljim!
27. 01. International Holocaust Memorial Day
Ispred zgrade škole posadili smo lukovice šafrana u spomen na milijun i pol židovske djece i tisuće druge djece stradale tijekom Holokausta. Cilj je aktivnosti podizati svijest učenika o opasnostima diskriminacije, predrasuda i rasizma pri čemu sadnjom šafrana i njihovim nicanjem simbolično šaljemo poruku o nadi u bolje sutra. Uključivanjem učenika u sadnju lukovica i promatranje cvijeća kako raste potičemo kontinuirano učenje o važnosti tolerancije i poštovanja.
Zajedničko prisjećanje na zločine holokausta i zajednički rad kako bi se osiguralo da se takva povijest nikada ne ponovi, put je kojim treba ići. Obveza današnjih generacija je poduzimati mjere za sprječavanje katastrofa, učiti iz prošlosti i graditi društvo u kojem se prema svima postupa jednako i u kojem nitko nije izostavljen. Ciljevi održivog razvoja (SDG) nacrt su za postizanje bolje i održivije
budućnosti za sve.
DETALJNIJE
Outside the school building, we planted saffron bulbs in memory of a million and a half Jewish children and thousands of other children who died during the Holocaust. The aim of the activity is to raise students' awareness of the dangers of discrimination, prejudice and racism, symbolically sending a message of hope for a better tomorrow by planting saffron and sprouting them. By involving students in planting bulbs and watching flowers grow, we encourage continuous learning about the importance of tolerance and respect.
Remembering the crimes of the Holocaust together and working together to ensure that such history is never repeated and is the way to go. The obligation of today's generations is to take these measures to prevent disasters, teach you from the past and build a society in which everyone is treated equally and in which no one is left behind. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.

27.1.2022. International Holocaust Remembrance Day
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause & reflect on the darkest period in modern history. As racism & anti-Semitism permeate the mainstream, we must recommit to learning about our past. How we respond to hatred matters. Those who can’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
The SDGs clearly emphasize the responsibilities of all States, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations, to respect, protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without the distinction of race, color, sexual orientation, disability, gender, or religious and political ideologies.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must reassert our commitment to human rights!
28.1. 2022. Happy Data Protection Day!
In a world where data protection has become a necessity to ensure the respect of basic rights in digital environments, we aim to raise awareness of online issues and current concerns. Data protection is a fundamental right set out in Article 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights: ‘Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her’.
11.02. The International Day of Women and Girls in Science
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on 11 February, is implemented by UNESCO and UN-Women in collaboration institutions and civil society partners that aim to promote women and girls in science.
This Day is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO, and the support of young girls, their education and their full ability to make their ideas heard are levers for development and peace.
Međunarodni dan žena i djevojčica u znanosti, koji se obilježava 11. veljače, provode UNESCO i UN-Women sa suradničkim i partnerskim institucijama civilnog društva kojima je cilj promicanje žena i djevojčica u znanosti.
Ovaj dan prilika je za promicanje punog i jednakog pristupa znanosti i sudjelovanja u znanosti za žene i djevojčice. Rodna ravnopravnost globalni je prioritet UNESCO-a i kao takav pruža podršku mladim djevojkama u njihovom obrazovanju i njihovoj punoj sposobnosti kako bi se njihove ideje čule i postale temelj razvoja i mira.

22. March- World Water Day
Every year on March 22, World Water Day (World Water Day or World Water Day) is celebrated. The idea to celebrate it was voiced at the UN Conference on Environment and Development, held in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, writes Calend.
From this year, March 22 is celebrated in Armenia as a professional day of a hydrologist.
The main goals of the World Water Day are:
- To draw public attention to the condition and problems of water bodies related to their restoration and protection;
- Facilitate the adoption of appropriate measures to address the problem of drinking water supply to the population;
- Inform the public about the importance of protecting and preserving fresh water and water resources in general.
According to some expert estimates, in 2050 The world's population will reach 9 billion, of which 4 billion will live in chronic water shortages. In other words, water will become the most valuable raw material in the world.
18.4. International Day of Monuments and Sights

23. 04. English Language Day
In 2010 United Nations started celebrating English Language Day in order to promote multilingualism and cultural diversity.
On this occasion, on 25 April, English language teachers Sandra Tomac Lovasić and Helena Jajčević organized an open day in our school. We had a charity sale of candle holders made by our students and teachers together. The money we raised will be given to some of our students who live in difficult conditions.
Our event also had an ecological aspect. Candle holders were made from ordinary household cans which were carefully cleaned and prepared, primed and painted with water-based colours, and decorated in decoupage technique with William Shakespeare quotes printed on rice paper. Quotes were designed in Canva by our students and teachers. In order to minimize our carbon footprint and also to support local small businesses, candles were purchased at a local candle maker.
Our first English language open day was a great success and we hope to make it a tradition.
