In a festive and inspiring atmosphere, Cultural Passports were presented to the school’s first-grade pupils, as well as to members of the school choir, a long-standing and cherished guest of the Ethnographic Museum.
The Cultural Passports were awarded by the Director of the Ethnographic Museum, Marko Krstić, who emphasized the special personal significance this visit held for him.
“Returning to the school where I gained my first knowledge and values is a deeply emotional experience for me. These Cultural Passports are an invitation for children to explore, learn, and nurture their curiosity and creativity, as well as a message that the museum is a place where they are always welcome and where they can find inspiration for the future,” said Krstić.
Nenad Matić, Principal of the “King Peter I” Primary School, expressed his gratitude to the Ethnographic Museum for its continued support and long-standing cooperation in fostering culture and education from an early age.
“This day holds special importance for our school, which has been educating generations of children in the spirit of knowledge, respect, and community. The Cultural Passports received by our pupils are not merely a gift, but an encouragement to learn, explore, and build a lasting connection with culture,” Matić emphasized.
The awarding of Cultural Passports on Saint Sava’s Day once again confirmed the shared mission of the school and the museum: to support children in growing up surrounded by culture, heritage, and values that shape future generations.
