Silvija Kovačić, Executive Director of the Sonda Association, participated as a member of the selection committee.

A total of 27 workshop proposals were submitted to the Croatian Designers Association (HDD) in response to the open call for the Dizajnerska početnica educational program, which will be implemented during 2025 and 2026. The program introduces children and youth to the world of design through creative, hands-on workshops, and is also run in Vižinada by the Sonda association for the promotion of creativity, education, and local community development.

The selection committee, consisting of Silvija Kovačić (Sonda Association), Eleonora Matijašević, and Nataša Mihaljčišin, selected 16 new workshop concepts, in addition to confirming two previously established workshops that will remain in the program. The selected workshops will be held at the HDD Gallery in Zagreb over the coming period.

The Sonda Association is proud to have contributed to the selection process and to have supported the delivery of high-quality educational content aimed at fostering creativity, visual literacy, and design thinking among young people.
