The topics of the workshops were: “Stories of our region”, “The story of Lovran’s water carriers”, “Our ča”, “Glagoljica in Lovran”, “Weave, weave a net and weave a knot”, “Threads that unite us – embroidery”, “Making of Lovran’s Košić/basket”, “Making of Lovran’s Guc/boat”, “Print of Autumn”, “Autumn of Wool”, “Boccia”, “Firefighters in Lovran”, “Eco Workshop” and “Games of Our Old Ones”.
A big thanks to the volunteers of the First Croatian High School in Rijeka who helped us implement the program, as well as all the workshop mentors and facilitators.
It was beautiful, playful and dancing!
