We are pleased to announce the book launch event for the novel “Mika” with the author Jelena Angelovski. During the event, we will talk about the novel, our heritage language and bilingualism in our children growing up abroad.

Jelena Angelovski is a mum, a Serbian language teacher and an author for children growing up bilingually.

“Mika” is Jelena’s first novel, but also potentially the first major Serbian novel in modern times focussed on the topic of growing up abroad.

Join us in conversation on this topic that is common to all of us.

This event is both for children and grown-ups.

Saturday, 12 October 2024.

Please register for the event via Eventbrite website. Registration is not compulsory; we just want to know roughly how many people to expect.

*This event is part of the project entitled “Creating positive experiences in and emotional associations to Serbian language in our children who are growing up in the UK: The novel “Mika” and workshops with Jelena Angelovski”. This project is co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, the Office for collaboration with diaspora and Serbian people in the region.

Serbia is home to a wealth of archaeological treasures that span a vast expanse of human history, reflecting the region’s rich cultural heritage and strategic significance throughout the ages. From the earliest days of human settlement in the Mesolithic period to the grandeur of the Roman Empire and the architectural marvels of the Byzantine era, Serbia’s archaeological sites offer a unique window into the diverse civilizations that have thrived in this part of the Balkans. Among the most significant sites - Lepenski Vir, Vinča, Felix Romuliana (Gamzigrad), Sirmium, Viminacium, Caričin Grad (Justiniana Prima), and Mediana - each tells a compelling story of human ingenuity, cultural evolution, and historical transformation.

The traditional Vidovdan celebration will take place in the Bishop Nikolaj Hall from 12.15pm on 30th June. Apart from the pupils of our school, St Sava choir and a folklore group will also take part in the event. Entrance is free, and those who would like to make donations will be able to do so in the Hall before or after the event.

All are welcome!
