THREE TIMES HOORAY FOR NOVI SAD 2021!

Apart from the twin-cities, significant cultural institutions and a large number of various organizations, our city’s candidacy for the 2021 European Culture Capital was also supported by the children of Novi Sad. At their kindergartens, the children drew on the topic of ‘Novi Sad – My City’, while the best ideas were exhibited today on the main city square, Trg Slobode, during the exhibition ‘Three Times Hooray for Novi Sad 2021’. Participants and visitors were addressed by the Member of the City Council in Charge for Culture Mr. Vаnjа Vučеnоvić.
- Youth, energy and creativity, represent relevant arguments that Novi Sad possesses when we talk about our city’s  candidacy for the 2021 European Culture Capital. With this exhibition we promote children’s creativity and offer a chance to our youngest citizens to express themselves in their own way and in their own particular fashion, presenting us thereby their own impressions about life in Novi Sad. The City, through its ‘Radosno Detinjstvo’ Preschool Institution and other cultural and educational organizations, pays special attention to our youngest, acquaints them with culture, and encourages their creativity, and that is an important segment of our bid for this prestigious title. – stated Mr. Vučеnоvić.
