We hope we were able to contribute to the process of problem-solving with our research
The topic of accessibility and organisation of healthcare facilities intrigued us immensely due to its complexity, importance and lack of information on it. We believed that the uniqueness of our topic is especially highlighted by the way the aforementioned issue is very much present in our country, but can also be reflected at a global level. The process of seeking the unspoken truth helped us combine our knowledge from different fields that interest us – psychology, law, business and other humanities. Conducting research on such an important topic was definitely a challenge, which is exactly what motivated us to present our findings at a deeper level. After such a meticulous research process, we believe that we helped the people around us by acknowledging the existence of the issue and uncovering the unspoken truth. We are confident that these small steps are crucial and hope we were able to contribute to the process of problem-solving with our research, stated Tijana and Nastasija.
Furthermore, Anja Matković, Hana Jurenić, and Mateja Baketarić made a remarkable contribution with their research on “How modern urbanism affects citizens and the connection between humans and nature?” The thought-provoking questions posed by their study demonstrated a deep understanding of the topic. Moreover, their efforts and impressive presentation skills were acknowledged by the judges.
As a token of appreciation, they were awarded tablets. This recognition serves as an inspiration to all, showcasing the students’ commitment to academic pursuits and their ability to think critically and creatively.
It is beneficial for the growth of children and young minds to feel that same connection with nature
It isn’t a coincidence that you feel connected with nature because as human beings, our origin stems from the depths and caves of jungles and various ecosystems. It is beneficial for the growth of children and young minds to feel that same connection with nature. I hope that my, Hana and Anja’s research can provide insight into how we can solve this problem, said Mateja.
The achievements of these students reflect the bright future ahead of them, and it is anticipated that they will continue to excel in their academic endeavours. Their research serves as a model for others, motivating and inspiring individuals to tackle pressing societal challenges with innovation and insight.
Congratulations to all the winners on their remarkable accomplishments!
