Cultural and literary initiatives in Croatia and Montenegro

Overview

Regional cultural and literary activities have been highlighted through various initiatives in Croatia and Montenegro. In Croatia, the Croatian Library and Reading Room completed its Knjignik summer program, which utilized children’s theater and workshops on the Glagolitic script to preserve heritage. The ‘Poezija to go’ project also continues its long-standing mission to promote poetry reading among youth.

In Montenegro, literary workshops such as ‘Bajka o duhu’ have been conducted to encourage creative writing and reading among young people.

Complementing these grassroots and local efforts, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media has announced a public call for cultural funding for the upcoming year. This initiative seeks to support a wide range of sectors, including museum and library activities, book publishing, performing arts, and the protection of archaeological heritage, as well as the construction and equipping of cultural infrastructure.

Recent developments in Croatia include new programs focused on children and cultural heritage. Krapina-Zagorje County has announced a program for Children's Week to promote children's rights and community participation, supported by a significant budget allocation for education and healthcare. Additionally, the Archaeological Museum in Split is hosting the ‘Mediterranean Books’ program. This initiative features educational museum publications for children alongside the presentation of professional and scientific works, such as ‘Moja Meduza’ and ‘Salonitanski krajolik’, to engage the public with cultural heritage.
