We are highly motivated for cooperation and we want to integrate our experience into our work in the future. We educate economists, administrative assistants, financial technicians, fashion designers, waiters, cooks and hairdressers. We would like to see how our colleagues from other schools in Europe work. The classes in our school are held in modernly equipped classrooms, specialized classrooms and workshops. The school currently has over 500 students. Among them is a significant number of children of various nationalities and children with special needs. Also there are around 80 employees, of which there are 60 teachers, who work with and take care of the students. In the next school year, we plan to enroll students into 6 new first grades, with the total of 180 students. The school has enough space for students, including classrooms, specialized classrooms, workshops, a kitchen, a restaurant and a hair salon. Within the curriculum, our students attend practical classes in a five-day period, several times per year. The students have the chance to visit different government institutions on the local level, the courthouses, Social services center and others, as well as lawyer offices and various private companies. Helping the employees with their work, the students can apply their theoretical knowledge and gain the valuable experience. Our goal is that our teachers and non-teaching staff improve their English language in order to work more easily on future exchanges and to participate more easily in the

European integration on all school levels. We want to achieve better educational results and acquire the ICT qualification. From the extracurricular activities, we would like to point out the Tolerance Club - a discussion group which has been working for years on the breaking of prejudices and stereotypes, through different types of activities, as well as on the strengthening of the perceptibility of intolerance and different types of discrimination. In November, the Tolerance Club discussed the topic of Crystal Night, the night which is considered as the beginning of the Holocaust. Moreover, each year within the Tolerance club, our most hardworking students travel to Switzerland together with their teachers for two weeks. Every day our students, together with the students from other countries, participate in discussion groups which are organized in two shifts. Our school has participated in several projects. The most important project was "The multiplication - live in tolerance" which was a long-term, interconnected and educational project, conducted in Vojvodina with the support of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation from Switzerland. The main goal of this project was to teach about tolerance and cohabitation through educational programs, also a general tendency to build a modern democratic society where the citizens would have an active role, especially young people. With our joint initiative and teaching about differences, different cultures, customs, religions and languages, we contribute to the lowering of interethnic tensions and intercultural distances, we oppose stereotypes and xenophobia, affect the improvement of communication, mutual understanding and the beauty of cohabitation. Within this project, starting in 2009, the most active students and their mentors have had the chance to stay in the students' camp in Trogen Switzerland together with representatives from other countries. .Fashion designers have had the professional training of students and teachers in the manufacturing facilities of the AMC (Serbia) and Calzedonia (Italia) factories. Each year our students and their teachers participate in the Fashion Week as volunteers and as young, unknown fashion designers. Our students support and participate in different manifestations regarding sport, culture, religion and humanitarianism which are organized in our town. Students of designer cooking clothes, hairdressers are actively involved in environmental projects at school. Textile recycling is current, we take care of waste materials in the kitchen and restaurant, and hairdressers are engaged in the adoption of new rules regarding ecological procedures in their field, such as the application of eco products for hair care and washing. the school is included in the local project "For cleaner and greener schools" at the provincial level and regularly collects plastic, paper and metal cans. The school has a student parliament that makes decisions on behalf of the school's students and thus acts in the wider community. As part of the student parliament, students are active in humanitarian work in the school and the city. We are implementing Erasmus + project Ka 102 Vet, and cooperating in KA 202 as partners.
