Interpretive Writers in Novi Zagreb
Last week, we organised the Certified Interpretive Writer course, licensed by the European organisation for heritage interpretation Interpret Europe. It was a rare opportunity to bring this excellent training programme to Zagreb, made possible through our project The New Shore, with the support of the City of Zagreb. The aim of the project is to publish an unconventional tour guide book of Novi Zagreb. The book will feature self-guided walks created by some of the course participants.
A creative group of participants gathered at the Zagreb Fair. They came from different parts of Croatia, with one participant from Serbia, making the event international. It was an inspiring start to autumn for all of us, coloured by the changing season and memories of the golden age of this part of the city. The timing also coincided with the 70th anniversary of the Zagreb Fair on the south bank of the Sava river, so we took the opportunity to visit the exhibition currently on display in the iconic Chinese Pavilion.
We’re already thinking about running the course again next year. Let us know if you’re interested or would like to find out more!

Sezona besplatnih tura je gotova, a sada možete istraživati sami!
Zagreb rado odaje počast svojim književnicima kroz nazive ulica i škola te spomenike književnicima i književnim likovima. Na to i mi ukazujemo već godinama razgledima i popratnim sadržajem. Ove godine smo održali čak 7 besplatnih zaigranih šetnji kojima je ukupno prisustvovalo oko 150 osoba. Hvala svima na sjajnom raspoloženju i sudjelovanju. Već razmišljamo koji bismo dio grada mogli istražiti kroz književnost sljedeće godine.
Fun times at Liburnicon
We participated at the festival Liburnicon with a fun combination of a quizz & presentation full of fun facts about the Croatian outlawesses... ehm... we don't think there's a word in English for outlawed women? It was actually about women who were strange enough, or amazing enough not to fear to be estranged by society. Historical women and those from local legends. The questions were confusing and surprising, and we received a wonderful feedback! Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winners who were awarded with our book!

Secret Zagreb coming soon to Croatia Underrated app
There's a new travel app about to launch
Our sister project Croatia Underrated is developing a unique travel app, and the long process of collecting stories and preparing the content is coming to the end... that is, it will probably never come to its end, as we plan to add new content and improve the existing one over the course of time. However, we have enough to offer the app as an inspiration for your Croatian travels.
See you at Liburnicon!
You prefer Croatian coast over its continental capital of Zagreb? Normally, we would argue that as Zagreb offers a lot of perks in Summer. But on Friday 21st of August
