Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this paper is to present the Našice Scrapbook, a multi-year project of the King Tomislav Elementary School in Našice, as a school project of preserving local cultural and natural heritage.
Approach/methodology/design. In the theoretical part of the work, the principle of nativeness and the traditional concept of teaching nativeness and also the methods of teaching native history in elementary school are described. Despite the fact that the modern educational system does not recognize the concept of teaching nativeness, a search of the curricula of various teaching subjects and cross-curricular topics revealed the presence of terms that semantically correspond to the concept of nativeness. In the continuation of the work, the objectives of the Project and the work methods are described, as well as the student works published on the website Našice Scrapbook: the website of the Našice region until the end of the 2022/2023 school year.
Findings. By searching the professional literature and the prescribed laws and documents on which the modern educational system is based, it was observed that the concept of nativeness has a long tradition in Croatian education. In the modern educational system, nativeness is strongly linked to the outcomes of building personal identities of students as well as responsible and active citizens who contribute to the development of the local community, but at the same time develop solidarity towards different cultures of the world.
Originality/value. The project can serve educational workers as an example of good practice in the field of fostering nativeness in different subjects and cross-curricular topics.
