ABOUT THE MOVIE

What does quality of upbringing and education in the classroom look like? What does quality mean for the development of a child’s potential, especially in the context of ensuring equal opportunities for children from poor communities? This is the story of a quality of educational practice in the Međimurje school ‘Dr. Ivana Novaka Macinec’ where Roma children make up 70% of the total population of school students, which asks the question Why a partnership with the family is important and how to build a community.
