VARAŽDIN
The event "Knowledge transfer – a stroll through the history of park architecture in Vatroslav Jagić Promenade in Varaždin" presented the promenade's natural and cultural heritage to preschool and first grade students from The Sixth Elementary School in Varaždin. Employees from Varaždin's Conservation Department led the children on an interesting walk, sharing their knowledge of the relationship between people and nature and enjoying the beauty of designed spaces.
ZAGREB
The French Institute in Croatia, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary, put on the event "Unexpected Rendez-vous with Urban Dance Intervention Group with Ballet Preljocaj and The Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb." They introduced the Zagreb audience to a dance group that meets with audiences in public, often unexpected places, performing choreographies from Angelino Preljocaj's repertoire. After the city center, they took the dance to Zagreb's Maksimir Park.
TROGIR
Vesna Hrga Martić discussed the history and current plant diversity of Garagnin-Fanfogna Park, as well as the Park’s renovation plans, with students from Trogir's Petar Berislavić Elementary School. Following the lecture, art works on tiramoles were displayed in the courtyard of the same-named palace, which houses the Trogir City Museum. Ana Šverko from the Institute of Art History also spoke about the park's creation and the preparation of project documentation for its restoration. The lecture was preceded by a recitation of songs in the chakavian dialect by fifth-grade students, who were reminded that, in addition to natural and cultural heritage, Trogir has a rich intangible cultural heritage.
