Abstract

Charitable work of Nadežda Adžić, daughter of the famous Serbian pedagogist Sreten Adžić, at the Children’s food providing centre “Bogdaj” in Bitolj, as well as in Trstenik, deserves to be considered from the pedagogical point of view. She started her pedagogical work in 1929/1930 in the “Craft school for girls” in Belgrade, where she teaches Decorative drawing. The next year, she moves to the Kindergarten of the Charitable society “Majka Jevrosima” and works as a teacher. In 1935, on the episcopus Nikolaj Velimirović’s suggestion, she starts her charitable work in Bitolj, then in Trstenik. The goal of this paper is to examine Nadežda’s attitude towards children and their education; descriptive research and content analysis methods were used. In order to explain the circumstances that had determined her future, the paper gives a short overview of her life and education, her educational work and attitude towards children. Educational values which characterized her contribution to children education, during a difficult period in Serbian history, are analysed in the conclusion paragraph.
