ECHOES Twinning Activity in Croatia Aftermovie

A wonderful aftermovie from our experience in Croatia within the framework of the ECHOES program. Our first knowledge-sharing activity in Istria, Croatia, at the mountainous Učka Nature Park, together with participants from six countries (Croatia, Ireland, Greece, France, Serbia, Hungary), was an exceptional exchange of knowledge and experiences on history, techniques, and materials, while also contributing hands-on to the restoration of the seasonal dwellings of the settlement of Petrebišća. The film captures nine days of collective work, learning, and living on the mountain – with workshops, presentations, walks, and of course, the restoration of traditional dry stone structures.
