As part of the project "Držić and the Pen of Radić", which was initiated by the Radić Brothers Elementary School from Zagreb in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, Dubrovnik High School and the Marin Držić House with the aim of introducing the work of Marin Držić and bringing Držić's language closer to the world of primary school students, and all on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of Držić's death, Dubrovnik High School hosted in October 2017. sixth grade students of the school of the same name under the leadership of professor Ivana Bilić and librarian Ružica Habek and presented them with the school and the projects implemented there. The students of the Radić Brothers Elementary School continued to present their school and projects at an enviable level in the following years. Thus, as part of the project, the radio drama 'Novela od Stanca' by Marin Držić was recorded, and Dubrovnik carols were learned. The project continues to exchange experiences and examples of good practice and to learn about similarities and differences in customs and cultural heritage. This year, if epidemiological conditions allow, it is planned to participate in a professional tour of the city: Držić's city, to learn about Držić's work and to map the city space through the connection with Držić. Interested students will host their Zagreb colleagues and will take students from Zagreb on a professional tour. The students will take on the role of guides. They will visit Lokrum, and will also prepare a puzzle game in space (finding locations and education) which will then be played by visitors with their teachers. A survey will also be conducted among students about their lived experience.

The project leaders are: Croatian language teacher Lucijana Pendo, librarian Renata Lujak Grdović, principal Katarina Tolja, Croatian language teacher Matilda Perković and Croatian language and film art teacher Ana Njirić Aleksić
