We are thankful to the Embassy of Croatia in Ljubljana and Croatian tourism organization that provide us with promotional materials.

The Croatian corner will display different materials, such as maps depicting different Croatian regions, landscape, culture, cities, and also lavender, a typical Croatian vegetation.

Our learning facilitators will present Croatian culture to participants of learning events and give them an opportunity to share their experiences connected with Croatia. We will spread the word about the activities also through our various communication channels including social media.
