Cooperation

At the atelier we are open to cooperative work with artists and organizations interested in sharing the knowledge and experience. Our idea of starting this place has been cooperation from the very beginning. Not only because of our own need and motivation for knowledge, but also to share and educate.

As our place is in an postwar area, there is a great need for the development and economical rebuilding. That is why we have decided to create the international ceramic centre. That way people from around the world are going to come here and are going to become our first tourists. As the area is a very close to a famous Plitvice lakes national park (about 30 km) and the area itself is beautiful we believe in this kind of development.

To accomplish this we work closely with many different persons and subjects of public life. Humanitarian organisation, local authorities, different civil society movements etc.

We try to educate and motivate people from the area to forget the past war and to turn to a present moment and sustainable future. Many plans are being discussed and made on many of our meetings with our friends and associates.

As we are self an Non Government Organisation we try to extend our work beyond the boundaries of national, racial, economical or any other non tolerant philosophy.
Part of our activities includes a workshops in ecological building, traditional pottery and other traditional art and hand crafts, different creative workshops for the children, ecological harvesting atc.

We hope to attract more organisations and individuals to come and offer their knowledge and ideas to other people thru our place, and to develop a big network and connect with other initiatives in the world with the same objectives as our own.

At the end we would like to point to our connections to a network of very creative and active people gathered in a NGO Ekosense. Society of people busy to in reach the world by tolerance and sustainability. We are proud to be a part of their network.
