At the beginning of the school year, representatives of organizations working with children at the Divljana reception center attended the classes in order to assist the kids and teachers alike.
Elementary school principal Danijela Ciric says that children learn in different ways and try to perform as much as they are able to due to the language barrier. They also participate in additional activities organized by the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration and the organizations working with children within the reception center Divljana.
