TOWARDS EUROPE-A SCHOOL OF DEMOCRECY

Municipal Council of Zrenjanin Municipality initiated the forming of Students parliament on the Municipality level which would be consited of representatives of all High Schools in Zrenjanin, as well as of representatives of Students hostel. Within the group of representatives of student unions we have gathered the data about their interests in participation within students union, as well as for their need in practice and knowledge needed for succesful work. Based on gathered information we have concluded that these young people need education that will develope their democratic knowldedge and crafts.
