I believe that conceptual projects of this kind are necessary upgrades to the education system in our country. Acting is a game through which one learns. It ignites the imagination of anyone who indulges in it. This programme enables young people to gain self-confidence, learn how to respect the other and the different, and strengthen the threshold of tolerance. It also makes participants get used to working in a team where everyone has the right to an attitude and opinion that does not endanger the other. Children and young people are the best students and teachers, at the same time, so you just need to know how to listen to them, and then help them to aim their imagination and knowledge at the right direction.

Creating an environment where they will be given access to knowledge is one of the best ways.
Anes Osmić
is a teacher of the Bosnia language and literature. He has always wondered what kind of mind does not make people happy and satisfied. That is why he likes teaching, through play and humour, lessons that have a purpose in real life, lessons that lead to better self-knowledge and responsible participation in society.
I see Thinkerica School primarily as a workshop for the life that awaits my students and in which I want them to enter with as much love, responsibility, empathy, curiosity and criticism as possible. When fear and shame cease, communication, understanding, and learning begin.
