Who Are We and What Are Our Goals?
Kontakt Hub is a youth educational center with a mission to positively impact people's lives through education, humanitarian actions, and the promotion of Christian values.
Education
Afterschool program
Our main goal in education is to support children through the Afterschool program, which offers completely free classes and workshops for elementary school-aged children. With our team of mentors, we provide assistance to children from vulnerable groups, whose parents/guardians cannot afford additional educational support. Every Saturday, we organize lessons in Serbian language, mathematics, and English, along with creative workshops. Through this, we help children overcome challenges they face in school and foster their creativity. The program also includes a free hot meal and additional activities, such as visits to the theater and sports activities. The Afterschool program is a gift to the Kragujevac community, and for the past five years, the program’s participants have successfully improved their skills, which in turn has led to better academic results.
Brazilian Portuguese Classes
Every week, we organize Portuguese language classes with the goal of not only teaching grammar but also introducing Brazilian culture and traditions. We aim to learn the language in a fun and accessible way while connecting with new people. Paula Marques, our mentor and instructor, believes that learning a language is much more than mastering grammar – it’s a gateway to new opportunities and experiences:
“Hello everyone! I’m Ana Paula, I come from southern Brazil, and I’ve been living in Serbia with my family for the past ten years. I have experience working as an educator, and I enjoy sharing Brazilian cultures and traditions. My mission is to make learning Portuguese fun and accessible. I’m looking forward to our lessons!”
This program also has a humanitarian aspect – Paula contributes greatly to our community by volunteering her time and knowledge. The entire amount of the symbolic monthly fees is directly allocated to support the needs of the Afterschool program. We combine something beautiful, humane, and useful – learning Portuguese.
Humanitarian Actions
To support our fellow citizens and participants of the Afterschool program, we organize humanitarian events to raise funds for specific causes. We have successfully held a series of humanitarian pub quizzes, chess, and football tournaments, through which we gathered support for the continuation of the Afterschool program. In this area, we aim to involve our fellow citizens, who can volunteer and help us creatively assist those in need. Sign up through the contact form on our website and share your ideas with us.

Christian Values
At the core of everything we do, and the driving force behind our work and enthusiasm, is the message of Christianity, which is the essence of our mission.
We believe that the Christian message and faith are especially important in today's fast-paced and stressful world, and it is precisely this message that has the power to free the individual. We organize lectures, courses, and workshops on various inspirational Christian topics, all of which are open to anyone interested in engaging in discussions and learning more in this area.
Below, get to know the new course currently offered at Kontakt Hub:
Course "Hope explored"
Christian hope is a joyful expectation of the future, based on true events that happend in the past, and it transforms everything in our present.
This course invites people to explore whether hope is just a word we use in difficult times or if it holds a deeper meaning that shapes our lives.
It focuses on discovering long-term hope, inner peace, and purpose. The course includes three interactive workshops and a series of short, engaging films through which we explore the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke. Regardless of what you believe or don’t believe, we invite you to explore, discuss, ask questions, and discover together. Welcome to "Exploring Hope."
