For this occasion, they made practical souvenirs, bookmarkers with neckties made in straw-work art technique. Along with the bookmarkers, the Subotica people were also given a leaflet with brief information and interesting information about the history of the necktie, and those interested could participate in the quiz. The quiz required a smartphone to scan the QR code and get to the quiz link on the school website. All participants were very successful, and as a reward they were able to win colorful shirts with a paper necktie made in the origami technique. At the very beginning, Hrvoje Vuković, Consul First Class of the Consulate General of the Republic of Croatia in the Republic of Serbia in Subotica, joined the students in celebrating Necktie Day.
