Since 2012, this elementary school and its teachers have been organizing events to celebrate World Animal Day, and 2018 was no different. With events designed around pupils and their interests, this year the focus was on heightening their emotional response to animals, and to celebrate our kinship with fellow living beings on this planet. Happy World Animal Day from Bosnia and Herzegovina, everyone!
