June 17 – July 1, 2017
The first festival was held in 1958, the result of the initiative and efforts of several children’s art enthusiasts. Along the years, the Festival has turned into a big complex multidisciplinary/multimedia cultural event, which not only displays but actively invites participation. It is a review of the best work for children as well as of the best work by children.
The basic cultural and pedagogical justification of the festival is that it promotes aesthetical education of children and young adults, and develops all artistic forms of children’s creativity. The festival also stimulates many ideas in art forms for children and by children: dramatic and music arts, puppetry, film, literature and visual art. The festival has the full support of UNICEF and UNESCO and continuing patronage of the Croatian President.
As the Manager of the Festival, Ivana Badzim initially screens for potential shows that would be of interest for participation in our Festival. However, the last word regarding the selection of the shows/performances is from The Artistic Board of the Festival.
