Greetings!

Our new CCSV council is almost one month into exciting plans and activities. Folklore dance is in full swing (get it? dance, swing?) and language classes are humming along (get it? humming? - I’m on a roll today!).

We have ordered a new set of folklore costumes - this time from the Bizovac (Osijek-Baranja) region - for our folklore group “Zagreb” for the upcoming Edmonton festival in May. We are also researching grants for various initiatives to promote Croatian language, folklore, and culture. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

In collaboration with the University of British Columbia, the Croatian Ministry of Education has secured an agreement where students in grades 8 to 12 in British Columbia can earn Croatian language credit toward university courses.

Happy Spring! It is so lovely to see the sunshine after such a long and gloomy winter.

1. CROFEST AND OTHER EVENTS

Since the pandemic restrictions continue to impact how we congregate and communicate, we are unable to host CROfest 2021. However, we are hopeful that we will re-launch CROfest in 2022.
