MEDS Workshop

Thinking of applying this year? Let’s reminisce about the past, this is how it looked last year at one of the big workshops in Rijeka, Croatia!! .hrvatska

From the Tutor Camp, where we prepared tutors and spaces for the days ahead, to opening the program at the and hosting you all at Oš Vežica. 180 participants worked on as many as 12 projects with our tutors, all implemented across the city of Rijeka.
To better understand the local context, we listened to interesting lectures and had many project collaborators from Croatia.
We explored the city through organized walks and visited the island of Krk.
We got to know each other and celebrated 42 countries during the National Night in the city’s art center , , located in a former industrial complex.
We also shared a Croatian evening under Rijeka’s cranes.
In the end, we presented everything through exhibitions across the city and many beautiful projects.

Thank you for all who supported penkala and many others!✨

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing lots of things from last year’s workshop in Rijeka, Croatia. Stay tuned to see more of what we’ve been working on since last year! Also keep an eye out for more info about the upcoming workshop in Brussels! ✨
