Two days ago we met for a first time with two archaeologists from the museum of Sibenik. They came to visit us and to tell some more information about the local archaeological heritage and we finaly received a short scientific lecture about Colentum, which hopefully we can use in our future projects and especially in the writing of the Management Plan of Colentum.



Nobody likes an office athmosphere that makes you think only of the connection between your humped back and dusty computer. Creativity needs colours, softness and a cosy space. We need it more than everything so we did our best to create these circumstances: found the most reddish couch in the whole Dalmatia, cleaned it so it is shinier than a summer smile and reorganised the space a bit and now we can use as well the old aquarium.
P.S. Some pillows and benches are joining Argonauta’s cosy corner soon. :)



Far away from the chilling coast of Dalmatia, among the infinite meadows of Slavonia in a small town, called Orahovica was held our on-arrival trainig for EVS volunteers. We had the chance to learn a lot about the European Voluntary Service Program from two highy qualified trainers-Daniela and Suncana, who not only explained us how the program works, but also revealed different asspects of the non-formal education’s values and gave us ideas and useful contacts to implement during our voluntary period. The best thing on this type of meetings is that you are gathering together with all the others making EVS in Croatia at the same time volunteers and have a chance to share ideas and experience. Beleive me, you will meet at least one person with whom you can come up with a common idea for a project. You have to be always brave enough to dream and to see your dreams implemented in the reality and when you have another dreamer next to you a much bigger chance occures to see your plans not only in your imagination. :) Dare to dream, dream bravely and constantly.


Last Saturday we were invited by our friends from the NGO “Modrave-Betina-Murter” to join in the construction of a touristic info-point, which is located really close to Vransko jezero. Actually this is their first project so they needed help not only from other NGO friends, but also from the local community. We were very happy to see that people from Modrava, Betina and Murter were really supportive and creative during the building of the info-centre. A curious and important fact is that the walls as well as the other constructions are made in the dry-stone technique, a traditional Dalmatian method for building and constructing. After the hard-working day we had this not less typical than the dry-stone technique dalamatian lunch-pastasuta. ^^ We hope that in the summer this place will be full with happy faces willing to know more about Dalmatian culture and why not to try a hot plate of pastasuta. :)
