The city of Vukovar is still marked by a divided community even almost 20 years after the war.There is hardly any mutual dialogue between the majority (Croats) and the minority (Serbs). Children are educated separately and do not have the opportunity to meet their peers in a natural environment - school. The purpose of the diploma thesis is to create a facility, a school in which the emphasis will be on the integration of spaces for interaction that will allow the creation of different scenarios to encourage the mutual learning of children of different national,social and cultural background.
