Cultural, Educational, Programme in Ravni Kotar

by Martin Mayhew

"Mostovi" ("Bridges") is an international, cultural, educational, research programme being run in the Ravni Kotar region, on the outskirts of the city of Zadar.
The project was initiated by Faculty of Philosophy, Department for History - Triplex Confinium, Zagreb.

Their first goal is to research the potential of the traditional way of living as well as contemporaneous needs and aspirations of local people. In this case the Mostovi research team is scientifically oriented as well as a participant in the local processes related to revitalisation. International volunteers and experts are welcome.

Besides this the Mostovi Programme contains some inter-related aims which were designed as an institutional framework for practical initiatives in local daily life. This is related to:

a) the Stojan Janković Castle as an integral eco-cultural monument complex (museum together with the arboretum and nursery which have to be revitalised)

b) a Centre for Interculturalism and Sustainable Development

The region of the two villages of Islam Latinski and Islam Islam Grčki is the main focus for the programme.
