Students and teachers of International School Savremena have once again shown their social responsibility and understanding of the support to marginalised groups of people.

This time, Year 11 and their class teacher, Ms Ljubica Krstić, attended the Bosi Fest film festival devoted to the struggles and the position of people with disabilities in society.

An Alien Soul for raising awareness

The short documentary An Alien Soul was made by an Israeli film student with the Asperger syndrome. It explores the trials she goes through in the relations with other students, her creativity and her disability.

The spirit of equality nurtured at International School Savremena was once again evident when the whole class of Year 11 signed up to see this documentary.
