LegendIN – a creative platform for people with disabilities!<\/h3>\n

With great enthusiasm, we are launching a new LegendFest project titled LegendIN – a creative platform for people with disabilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are aiming to further promote the Croatian intangible heritage with this project and to provide a platform for all creative people with physical or other impairments who go beyond their limited conditions in which they operate and, despite their handicaps, successfully overcome obstacles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through LegendIN as a creative platform, we would like to design many multimedia methods and to publicize audio – visual materials that will bring the world of Croatian legends, stories and myths closer to people with disabilities and encourage them to express themselves creatively.<\/p>\n

The aim of the LegendIN project is to involve people with disabilities into creative activities through which they will be able to express not only their artistic talents but also their own experience of the Croatian non-material heritage. We also aim to present the results of this creative work at the LegendFest festivals as well as on our web pages, and in this way\u00a0show how much we can learn from these valuable members of our society.<\/p>\n

We invite people who are interested to get involved in the LegendIN project, get acquainted with people with disabilities, provide support and find\u00a0INspiration<\/strong> in their work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ambasadors” tab_id=”2-Ambasadors”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

GORAN THE DRAGON<\/h3>\n

\"\"A kid\u2019s writer, Goran \u010cu\u010dkovi\u0107 is a daring, curious, cheerful and loving person who has been living for three years with a rare and severe peripheral nervous system disease. The very name of his present condition, the \u2018flaccid tetraplegia\u2019, indicates that his arms and legs systematically ‘lose control’.<\/p>\n

But, the dragon that he is, Goran does not surrender to despair in such difficult moments but fights back with imagination and creation. On the front line he can be seen with the purple keyboard under his fingers, persistently and firmly providing resistance to illness by writing and creating picture books that spread joy and beauty throughout the hospitals in Croatia.<\/p>\n

In his everyday life, he is a proud father of Lav, Adam and Max with whom he lives in Velika Mlaka near Zagreb. He is the launcher of the project \u2018Angelo the dragon helps children\u2019 for which more info can be found here:<\/p>\n
