Training a
new generation to accomplish the prerequisites established by a knowledge-based competitive society and economy is a significant
goal to reach. Our project aims to achieve this goal by supporting the development of technology and the pragmatic educational
methods of the educational institutions and their teachers and tutors in Serbia. We also intend to raise students’ interest
for mathematics and sciences and make these disciplines more appealing to the youth, invoking inter- and trans-disciplinary
instruments.
The ultimate purpose of this development project is to expand and modernize teh tools' system used
in the field of mathematics and other sciences.Above all the methodology of the Visual Mathematics project offers a great
possibility for teachers to present mathematics creatively, and in an interesting, appealing way. The 24-months program and
the comprised two Summer Schools and Experience Workshops are constructed in a way that the subsidiary materials and tools
used for education purposes are involved from everyday life spiced up by artistic techniques which are very catchy for the
youth. Thus this project uniquely combines mathematics with art, and other ordinary assets with the intention of attracting
Serbian children to learn mathematics, and inspiring them to improve their achievement in sciences.
