This Open World program aim at sharing best practices in different fields of K-12 education in the U.S. with the aim of strengthening civics education in Serbia and promoting critical-thinking, problem solving, and innovation among Serbian students. We also want to expose Serbian participants to American approaches to other topics, e.g., the inclusion of children with disabilities; use of technology inside and outside the classroom; and extracurricular activities. This Open World program would link the educational goals of Serbia and the United States and advance our goals for Serbia. As we live in an era of constant scientific discovery and technological change, which directly affects our lives and requires our input as citizens, we should recognize that our economies increasingly depend on these revolutionary new advances. Serbia needs to prepare its youth, especially girls, for new jobs that will be created in STEM fields. Fostering the development of STEM skills and competencies for college, career, and will assist in combatting the constant brain drain in Serbia.
