Projects for Primary Schoolers
All projects we implement for primary schools are based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. They last 5 to 6 weeks and are led by international students through free interactive workshops in English in Subotica, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Zaječar, and Niš.
What does your child get by participating?
Through participation in these free five-week workshops led by international volunteers, your child gets a unique opportunity to develop in a stimulating environment.
Through direct work with international students, students have the opportunity to get acquainted with other cultures, customs, languages, and perspectives. This experience helps them develop openness, tolerance, and a better understanding of the world around them. Through conversation and interactive tasks, students learn to view diversity as an opportunity for learning, connecting, and personal growth.
Workshops in English enable students to use the language in real and relaxed situations. Through conversation, team tasks, games, presentations, and practical examples, students develop confidence in communication. The focus is not on grades and grammar, but on free expression, understanding, and motivation to use English outside the classroom.
Through group work and interactive activities, students develop communication, cooperation, active listening, and respect for others' opinions. Workshops encourage them to express their ideas, participate in discussions, take responsibility in a team, and build a healthy relationship with peers. In this way, students become more confident in themselves and readier to actively participate in school and social environments.
Through workshops, students are encouraged to think independently, ask questions, and look for different solutions to given challenges. Through practical activities, they develop creativity, reasoning ability, and critical thinking. The goal is not just to passively absorb information, but to connect it with everyday life and understand why certain topics are important for them and their community.
Through topics such as health, well-being, nature preservation, and climate change, students develop awareness of how their habits, choices, and behavior affect themselves, other people, and the environment. The project encourages them to be more careful with themselves, more empathetic towards others, and more responsible towards nature and the community they live in.
Throughout the project, students have the support of international students and our team. Workshops are structured, clear, and age-appropriate, with an atmosphere where students can freely ask, participate, and express their opinion. Our goal is for every student to get space to engage, progress, and take a positive experience from the project.
Upon completion of the project, students receive a certificate of participation, which confirms their engagement, effort, and acquired experience. The certificate represents recognition for active participation in the workshops and can be additional motivation for further learning, skill development, and inclusion in similar educational programs.

First-hand experiences
It is best to learn from the stories of those who were part of our projects. Read what international volunteers say about working with primary school students in Serbia.
On a friend's recommendation, I applied for a volunteer internship in Türkiye, where I spent an amazing six weeks. I improved my English, worked with children at a summer camp, and felt what it's really like to live in another country rather than just being a tourist.

My AIESEC volunteer internship in Sri Lanka was a unique experience that let me work in a multicultural environment and contribute to the local community. Through the day-to-day work I developed my communication and leadership skills, gained a global perspective, and stepped outside my comfort zone.

During my time with AIESEC, I had the chance to host Erin from Scotland. Sharing experiences, conversations, and moments together broadened my horizons and showed me how much different cultures can bring people together. This experience left me with wonderful memories and contributed a lot to my personal growth.
Anastasija Pantić
Global Host
My family loved spending time with our intern - we swapped recipes from Chinese and Serbian cuisine and included her in family celebrations. The worries I had before Tian arrived turned out to be completely unnecessary, because the experience was wonderful from start to finish, for everyone involved.
Jovana Anđelić
Global Host
Our experience with the international student was truly special. My boyfriend and him got so close that they still talk almost every day, and last summer he came back to Serbia and spent two weeks with us. Definitely an experience I'd recommend to anyone considering becoming a global host.
Anastasija Jović
Global Host
We're a family with three children, and for almost a month we hosted Eylul, a student from Türkiye. The kids spoke English with her and picked up some Turkish, we swapped recipes, and took her to Sremski Karlovci and Petrovaradin Fortress. She became part of our family. An experience we'd recommend to anyone, and we'd gladly do it again.

My volunteer experience on the Equify project is something I'll remember forever. Instead of working with children, I chose to volunteer with adults, which gave me a completely different perspective on equality. I'm still in touch with people I met there today - this experience brought me not just personal growth, but friendships and memories that will stay with me forever.

A year after my first internship, I set off on a new volunteer experience, this time in Romania. AIESEC internships are a privilege you definitely shouldn't miss - the experience you gain goes beyond what words can describe.

I joined the SkillUp Entrepreneurship initiative. Working on sustainable development and business planning with high schoolers in Novi Sad was incredibly fulfilling. We didn't just give lectures - we analyzed real needs and shaped ideas together in a realistic, applicable way.

What meant the most to me was the relationship that naturally grew with the kids through workshops, conversations, and shared activities. The atmosphere was both educational and friendly, full of warmth and positive energy.

Volunteering in Novi Sad is an experience I'll remember for a long time. Working with the students gave me so much positive energy - they were curious, open-minded, and always ready to take part in the workshops. I was especially impressed by how motivated they were to learn, ask questions, and exchange ideas.
