+ larger fontnormal font- Smaller font
altThe Serbian language evening school in Copenhagen hosted a multimedia programme devoted to the centenary since the end of World War I, when Ambassador Jasmina Mitrovic Maric and history teacher Ksenija Maricic illustrated the significance and importance, bravery and freedom-loving spirit of our ancestors through music, poetry and stories about the Great War.

As they listened to the tunes of "The Drina March", songs "Far Away", "Jeremija pali topa" and poems such as "Plava grobnica (Blue Tomb)", "On the Eve of Holiday" "Kinf Peter's Oxen", "Mother and Son", Professor Maricic recounted to the children the tales of heroic feats, about the youngest soldier – their peer Momcilo Gavric who was an eight-year-old at the time, the Ramonda nathaliae and its symbolism, as well as the Danish doctor William Melgard who fought alongside the Serbian Army.

The lesson was brought to an end with the screening of a film about Milunka Savic, while the children made coloured drawings of Ramonda nathaliae and perused the War Album 1914-1918.
