Snežana Remiković, Assistant Director of the Statistical Office of Montenegro – MONSTAT, participated this week in a practical geography lesson at “Štampar Makarije” Primary School, at the invitation of geography teachers Andrijana Vuksanović and Jelena Jovanović. Through hands-on activities, students explored how statistical data are collected, processed and presented.

As part of the lesson, students completed a short survey on their migration experiences and tourist travel. The results were presented at the end of the session, demonstrating how individual responses are transformed into aggregated statistical data.

Drawing on their own experiences, students explored the connection between statistics, migration and tourism, highlighting the role of data in understanding social and geographical phenomena.

The lesson also included a practical introduction to the MONSTAT and Eurostat websites, where students explored population statistics for Montenegro and other European countries and practiced finding and interpreting official data.

The activity helped promote statistical literacy, critical thinking and research skills, encouraging students to use official statistics as a reliable source of information.

We would like to thank “Štampar Makarije” Primary School, particularly geography teachers Andrijana Vuksanović and Jelena Jovanović, for their initiative, warm hospitality and commitment to bringing official statistics closer to young people.
