Who guides you through this journey?

Kristina Vlaisavljevic

Graduated manager in culture at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade with a tourist guide 's license dedicated to the interpretation and management of cultural and natural heritage.

For the second year in a row, I am launching nature tours on the theme of legends and myths, and recently I have been creating audio stories with the same inspiration.

I finished a fairy tale storytelling seminar with Jasna Held , the only professional fairy tale narrator in Croatia.

I was involved in folklore as well as folklore workshops for tourists over 10 years , which through dance and music brought me closer to the national heritage and ancient cultural values.

In my free time I love to stare at the trees and breathe the mountain air.

Lorena Vlahovski

Once upon a time in Croatia

Graduated producer at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb and trainer of "soft" skills whose focus is the research of Slavic mythology, cultural heritage and the development of storytelling skills.

As a soft skills trainer , I have experience in conducting interactive educations that include 4 types of learning based on the following questions: “why?”, “What?”, “How?” and “what if?”, with special emphasis on the topics of presentation skills and storytelling .

I "honed" the role of host in an adventure called " cruise manager " on boats on the Adriatic coast where I led guests through a seven-day trip giving them a sense of security and connection with the beauties and cultural and natural heritage of the Croatian coast.

When I’m not researching myths and fairy tales, I like listening to gramophone records and dancing barefoot in the grass.

What do the participants say at our last workshop?

This workshop should be attended by anyone interested in any kind of mythology or history from the world. The old Slavs gave us “jobs” because they didn’t write down their knowledge and beliefs, but people who want to know more about them can do so at this workshop which will encourage them to explore further.

Lots of interesting and new information. Pleasant atmosphere, exercises, smiling, great energy. Just something you give yourself for yourself to relax, enjoy and listen to stories. All this information is great for creatives if they get a little stuck in their work because they are very inspiring and give us a new perspective on the elements around us.

IDA RADOVANOVIĆ, FOUNDER OF PLATGROM "PLAYGROUND"

The workshop was beyond my expectations. I don't know if I was more drawn to stories or original games or conclusions. What an interesting way to learn something and jump out of the comfort zone :) Thank you girls !!!

I would recommend these workshops to everyone, because in addition to being interesting, they also deal with very important topics for our area, which seem a bit forgotten. The lectures are very interesting and I love that they are interactive because we had a lot of fun and learned everything. My time has flown by, and I am an impatient person by nature, so I can only say one big BRAVO!
