The program offers a variety of activities, including the presentation of the researchers, education about collaborative scholarships, screening of a documentary film, a field trip to the Krka National Park, a panel discussion on nature research, a workshop on writing for the National Geographic, and a sightseeing tour in Šibenik. The participants will be able to get to know the Krka National Park, but also enjoy socializing.

Accomodations are located in the Titius hostel in the Volunteer Center in the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane. An event like this is an excellent example of the realization of the goal and purpose of organizing the Eco Campus as an interpretive-educational and volunteer center intended to host exactly such groups.

“The Krka Eco Campus is the proud host of this event, which, among other things, allows it to show its full potential. Our primary purpose has always been to educate individuals of all ages about the importance of nature conservation and encourage them to contribute to conservation efforts, and to support researchers, volunteers, and scientists in their efforts to better understand our ecosystem. This event is an opportunity to share knowledge and experiences that will enrich our community. Here in the Krka National Park, people of different interests can connect and work together on research and nature preservation”,emphasized the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica, and added: “Thanks to a modern equipped laboratory for naturalists and archaeologists, as well as accommodation facilities that the Krka National Park recently acquired for the first time, the Krka Eco Campus provides an inspiring environment for learning, research, and the exchange of ideas. The multifunctional hall at the Campus is suitable for various events, from conferences to workshops, which enables a diverse and interdisciplinary approach to environmental protection.”

This is a unique opportunity for journalists and media companies to take a peek into the world of research and nature conservation, and to exchange knowledge and experience with representatives of the iconic international magazine National Geographic.
