Students of the Sveti Sava elementary school from Modri\u010da are the winners of the fourth season of the Nemanji\u0107i International Quiz Competition.<\/p>\n
In the final held in Banja Luka from 16 to 19 May, the Modri\u010da students proved to know the most about the suffering of Serbs in the 20th century and beat the Banja Luka elementary school Ivo Andri\u0107.<\/p>\n
The winning team Svetosavci of the Modri\u010da elementary school Sveti Sava consisted of class VII 3 students: Nikola Simi\u0107 (team captain), \u0110or\u0111e Cvijanovi\u0107 and Nikola \u010celikovi\u0107. Their mentor was the history teacher Boro Bjeli\u0107.<\/p>\n
For four years, the Nemanji\u0107i Association from \u010ca\u010dak has been the technical organizer of the quiz. This year, over 1,000 contestants were registered, and six teams from the Republic of Srpska, four from Serbia, two from Hungary, and one each from Croatia and Sweden reached the final. The theme of this year\u2019s competition was Serb Suffering in the 20th Century and according to the participants, these are very painful yet important topics for fostering a culture of remembrance.<\/p>\n
Our contestants liked the discovery and association games best, but also the opportunity to spend time with their peers from the Republic of Srpska, Serbia and the diaspora at the final competition. Team captain Nikola Simi\u0107 said that they had prepared very seriously, because as a team they believed that if they did not know the past, they could not understand the present or build the future.<\/p>\n
For the teacher Boro Bjeli\u0107, this joint success is the crown of 40 years of educational work. \u2018I am happy because we achieved more than what we set out to. Our team was among the youngest and has the opportunity to compete in the next two years. We will try to defend this year\u2019s title\u2019, Bjeli\u0107 added and clarified that over 300 elementary school teams had participated in the competition.<\/p>\n
The principal of the Sveti Sava elementary school, Mitar Kr\u0161i\u0107, congratulated the winners of the competition. \u2018These students and their teacher brightened up the end of the school year\u2019, said Kr\u0161i\u0107.<\/p>\n
The final competitions of the Serb Suffering in the 20th Century will be broadcast on Hram Television on Saturdays and Sundays during the children and youth program time slot.<\/p>\n
