PROJECT DETAILS
Project: Ideje i karakter – Ideas and Character
Theme: Symbols and Metaphors (Simboli i metafore)
Academic year: 2026/2027 – Winter Semester
Participating students: First-, second-, and third-year students
Related subjects: The project is linked to a specific subject in each study year.

|---|---|---|
| VATEL | First Year | Practical Experience / E-learning |
| VATEL | Second Year | Hands-on Experience and E-learning |

The project is based on the book Symbols and Metaphors by Prof. Dr Veselin Vukotić. Each group must select one or more chapters from the book and develop a creative presentation inspired by the selected chapter.
The objective is not simply to retell the book, but to connect its ideas with your own experiences, reflections, and understanding of life. Creativity, critical thinking, research, teamwork, and active participation are essential.
