On 23 September 2016, a workshop was held with a group of second grade students at High School Kotor that are interested in improving the environment in which they live. Following the introductory workshop, during this workshop, assisted by the teacher Koviljke Backović, the students were encourage to recognize the challenges they perceive as important for improving the quality of their life in school and in their immediate surroundings. Some possible interventions were also considered that could contribute to making the school a better and more creative place for students.
The students recognized the following things that should be improved: the lack of benches and litter bins in the schoolyard, the lack of private spaces for gathering in smaller groups, inadequate contents of green areas, the lack of adequate bus stops for students who use public transport and the lack of lockers and an outdoor sports field. They also think that the school walls should be decorated with murals. Some of these ides will be realized during the project “School4City”. High School Kotor is one of 6 pilot schools/kindergartens in this project.
