Dubrovnik and Vukovar - what connects us?

During the 2020/2021 school year, Dubrovnik High School and Marko Babić Vocational School from Vukovar started a joint project in which they exchange experiences and examples of good practice and learn about similarities and differences in customs and cultural heritage. Part of the project focused on famous scientists from Vukovar and Dubrovnik, as well as on Vukovar and Dubrovnik as port cities.

The project involved first-grade students from Dubrovnik High School and a team of six teachers.

The first virtual meeting and introduction of students and teachers from the two schools was held on November 19, 2020, and at it, students from Vukovar showed how they marked the International Day of Tolerance in their school (the day is celebrated on November 16).

The high school students then presented Christmas customs in Dubrovnik and the surrounding area at a second meeting on January 28, 2021, to which their colleagues from Vukovar responded with a brief overview of Christmas in Vukovar and an exchange of impressions.

At subsequent meetings, they presented scientists - chemist Lavoslav Ružička and physicist and astronomer Ruđer Bošković.
