Winners of the competition for primary and secondary schools “Europe, Can You Hear Us?” were awarded today for the best works, through which students showed what their peers from Europe should know about Montenegro
Authors of the three best works among the primary schools pupils are Veljko Crvenica, Nikolina Krasić and Andrea Vukčević, students of the schools “Milorad Musa Burzan”, “Pavle Rovinski” and “Vuk Karadžić” from Podgorica. In the category of high school students, the best works for the competition were provided by Evgenija Kesse from the secondary school “Ivan Goran Kovačić” from Herceg Novi, as well as Polina Lazarenko and Borko Popović from “Petar Lubarda” Art School form Cetinje.
The competition, which was announced on the occasion of marking Europe Day within the “EU4ME” project funded by the European Union and implemented by the UNDP, resulted in about 900 works by which students through various art forms showed what their peers in Europe need to know about Montenegro and what is Montenegro’s place in Europe.
Awards for the authors of the best works were presented by the Chief Negotiator Aleksandar Drljević, the Head of the EU Delegation to Montenegro Aivo Orav and the Permanent Representative of UNDP in Montenegro Daniel Gašparikova.
Drljevic said that he is glad that the elementary and high school students understand the essence of the EU accession process, which is not only a mere fulfillment of demanding obligations, but also the linking of cultures and values, learning about others and accepting diversity. He added that the students showed that Montenegro has always been a European country, and that tomorrow it will be a worthy member of the European Union community.
