Simulated Session of the Croatian Parliament

The simulated session of the Croatian Parliament for students of Gymnasium Dubrovnik is a project that the school is implementing in cooperation with the Croatian Parliament.

The project is an integral part of the interdisciplinary theme Civic Education, which enables students to acquire civic competence, which includes civic knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for the active and efficient performance of civic duties and successful participation in the community. It is aimed at raising the level of knowledge about the highest representative and legislative body of the Republic of Croatia and understanding its role in the everyday life of citizens.

The simulated session takes place according to its own Rules of Procedure and contributes to the development of democratic political culture among the youngest voters - high school students.

The project is led by professors Jasmin Deraković, pedagogue Jagoda Đurović and principal Katarina Tolja. Students prepare for the session throughout the school year, when a visit to the Croatian Parliament is organized, which is organized by professor Pavica Palunčić Beloša, and in May they participate in the session program in the Croatian Parliament with high school students from all over Croatia.
