ZAGREB, June 12, 2020 - The annual Luka Ritz award for the promotion of tolerance and violence-free schools was presented on Friday to primary school student Dorotea Horvat from Nasice and secondary school student Luka Prce from Vukovar.
The head of the award presentation committee, Suzana Ritz, thanked everyone who participated in the competition and especially the award recipients and their parents, teachers, and principals, emphasizing that we should be proud of the recipients, the way they deal with problems, and the values they represent.
Science and Education Minister Blazenka Divjak said that the award presentation was a celebration of those who should be an example to us all and that it helps to ensure that one can breathe freely and easily in schools, as it was stated by Luka Ritz, a young man who died in June 2008 from injuries sustained in a case of peer violence.
