On Wednesday, 19th November, “ Ruđer Bošković” Educational system organized a round table for high school students from Belgrade .
Students from V Belgarde Gymnasium, III Belgrade Gymnasium, IX Belgrade Gymnasium ”Mihailo Petrovic Alas”, XII Belgrade Gymnasium, XV Belgrade Gymnasium, “Saint Sava” Gymnasium, X Belgrade Gymnasium and XIV Belgrade Gymnasium took part.
What does a family represent today? What constitutes a family system? What are the characteristics of a functional and dysfunctional family pattern? How is a child/adolescent treated in a family?
The aim of this round table was to answer these and other similar questions and to contribute to a better understanding of the complex relationships in contemporary families through exploring the psychological and social aspects of a family, through dialogue and exchange of experiences. The guests were welcomed by the Director of Studies at “Ruđer Bošković” Educational Center, Nada Vuković.
The introductory lecture was delivered by Ph.D. Dragan Popadić, professor of social psychology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. He talked about family relationships in the period prior to the Second World War until present day and pointed out the transformation visible in how a family is perceived today as well as relationships inside the family. He also talked about the role of a contemporary family in a child’s development.
“If we want to define a family of 21st century, we will never find an appropriate definition.”
