European House celebrates third birthday: "Super Zvjezdana is our way to bring EU values ​​closer to children"

The European House announced today that it celebrated its third birthday in the company of the youngest, with an interesting journey through the countries of the European Union (EU) and the premiere of the second edition of the comic book "Super Zvjezdana", which was created in cooperation with the embassies of the member states, in the spirit of the "Team Europe" initiative.

The statement added that around 50 students from the "Vuko Jovović" Elementary School from Danilovgrad had the opportunity to participate in an unusual educational adventure through a mini fair of EU member states, which included the embassies of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Romania and Slovenia, and that the children discovered interesting facts about the cultures, languages ​​and customs of these countries.

"Super Zvjezdana is our way of bringing EU values ​​closer to children - through play, story and recognizable characters. The enthusiasm of the children today confirms that we learn from each other while growing together," said Saša Pailbrk from the European House.

"I liked Super Zvjezdana the most because it teaches others, and the comic is really fun – I can't wait to read all the adventures," said one of the participants, a girl named Jana Babić.

The European House stated that the children were among the first to receive their own copy of the comic and met the comic artist Ilija Nikčević, who brought the new adventures of Super Zvjezdana to life with his illustrations.

"The adventure of Super Zvjezdana, Tara and Sova is great and magical – just as my task to depict it in a drawing was a real adventure. Although drawing Zvjezdana could be hastily called work, I see it as an opportunity and privilege to be part of her Super Team," said Nikčević.

The Europe House said that through the characters of the girl Tara, the wise Owl, and the heroine Super Zvjezdana - who symbolizes the values ​​of the EU - children learn in a creative and fun way about solidarity, tolerance, knowledge, togetherness, and the wealth of diversity that adorns the EU.

"At the end of the program, the children had the opportunity to watch the play 'Super Zvjezdana', which was prepared by actress Sanja Popović based on the comic book script. Additional joy was brought by the juice factory 'Naše voće', an IPARD beneficiary, which sent the children juices as a sweet surprise on the occasion of the European House's birthday," the statement said.
