GO UP

This July brought us a wonderful opportunity to lead a special walking tour in Croatian. The name of the tour was Ženski tok Trnjanske Savice (The Female Flow of Trnjanska Savica). Trnjanska Savica is a neigbourhood in Zagreb, on the bank of the river Sava, hence the flow. And yes, as the name says, we discovered the amazing female side of the neighbourhood in street names, women who have lived here, trees, and the very river that gently passes by.

The tour was a part of the project called Kvartovi kulture (Neihbourhoods of Culture) that takes place several times a year in different parts of Zagreb. It brightens up quarters with educational activities, workshops, theater plays, concerts, and other performances - it is always just one neighbourhood for the weekend. There is a tour of the neighbourhood, too, and this time, it was our time to share our enthusiasm for exploration. What a fulfilling experience it was for us! Such a fruitful exchange with the participants, so many curious facts uncovered. Plus, there was a game! To spice things up, we prepared some riddles for people to solve along the way. It wasn't easy at all, but it was so engaging. The whole thing was incredibly uplifting.

This is just the start of a beautiful friendship of Trnjanska Savica and Secret Zagreb, as we are preparing a selfguided gamified tour in collaboration with the neighbourhood council. The tour will be available in English, too, so we hope it will inspire you to explore this part of the city, completely outside of the tourist routes.

Najava novih termina za kolovoz

Nakon veselog proljeća uz čak 5 besplatnih termina Izazova književnog kluba tajnog Zagreba, već najavljujemo još dva termina u kolovozu.

Novi termini:

  • nedjelja 23. 8. u 17:00
  • nedjelja 30. 8. u 17:00

Trajanje: do 2 h

Lokacija: Oktogon

Program je besplatan, ali je broj mjesta ograničen. Rezervirajte svoje mjesto na booking@secret-zagreb.com. Termini se već popunjavaju pa nemojte predugo razmišljati!

Napomena: Obujte udobne cipele za hodanje i ne zaboravite ponijeti dobro raspoloženje!

ŠTO VAS ČEKA?

Književnici i njihovi likovi česta su tema obilazaka iz programa Secret Zagreb. Povodom Noći knjige, okupili smo sve te priče, pronašli neke nove i posvetili cijelu turu isključivo njima. Zajednički ćemo se prisjetiti onih koji su svojim riječima zidali ovaj grad. Možda već znate da su priče iz tajnog Zagreba katkad malo i uvrnute - nećemo vas razočarati ni ovih večeri! Bit će tu mračnih misli naših književnika, zlosretnih sudbina, neuzvraćenih ljubavi, nedostižnih muza, neponovljive mašte, ali i mnogo simpatičnih dogodovština. Pridružite se šetnji, prođite ispod prozora naših pisaca i ponovo se inspirirajte njihovim vječnim riječima.

We've had a chance to present our tours and quests to specialised international audiences at conferences in Poland and in Sweden. The Poland conference took place in April, and it was organised by Interpret Europe. If you've been browsing through this blog, you might already know that our Iva is a very active Interpret Europe member and guide trainer. She attended the conference and presented how the Badass Women of Zagreb tour was developed as a part of a presentation called The Blind Badasses: Turning tales of historical underdogs into interpretive experiences.

Just last week, Iva travelled to Sweden to take part in an international Transformative Play Initiative Seminar and presented our gamified Witch Hunt quest in a presentation calledWitch Hunt Quest: can a gamified tour stoke the flame?

It is motivating to know that specialised communities, that aim to bring positive changes to the world, recognise our projects as something that can add value and new perspectives to their initiatives. But more importantly, the two events were an incredible opportunity for us to gain new insights, and find ways to make our experiences more meaningful.
