Thanks to the “Eurobank Direktna Big Heart” Mastercard affinity credit card and clients who use this card, the Bank allocates part of its revenue for equipping and modernising secondary schools across Serbia. Eurobank Direktna allocated more than RSD 800,000 for equipping a computer lab in "9. maj" Secondary School of Economics.

Thanks to our clients, users of the “Eurobank Direktna Big Heart” affinity credit card, we provided necessary equipment worth more than RSD 800,000 for the computer lab.

In addition, upon the Bank’s initiative, the “Travelling Museum” educational programme was launched, in cooperation with the “Jevrem Grujić’s Home", Museum of History, Arts and Diplomacy in Belgrade, so students had the opportunity to learn about Serbian history, culture and art skills through curator-guided and interactive lectures. Thanks to cooperation with the publishing company “Laguna”, a discount on purchasing books was provided for students in the Laguna bookstore in Sremska Mitrovica.
Such comprehensive approach of the "School Designed for You” project aims to facilitate academic development of students, as well as their creativity and critical opinion.
