On Sunday, 19.11.2023 Our delegation visited Back to Basics Lab in Kovačnica – business incubator in Kranj

Colleagues from Slovenia hosted our delegation pleasantly, and Ana, Kruno and Marko exchanged experiences in holding workshops for children and young people with Bine, Luka and Mladen at the working meeting.

Kruno: "When I visited the B2B headquarters in Kranj, I was pleasantly surprised by the approach and thinking behind the whole idea. Bringing the hobby closer to new generations in a way that will allow them to get to know the positive sides - creating a recognizable whole from unrecognizable parts, decorating and adding an individual component to the work and satisfaction with what has been achieved."

"The conversation reminded me of my beginnings and the reasons for giving up. When I was a teenager, I put together models, but I often stopped at the point of assembly. Coloring was something beyond my reach. I didn't know how to start, and if I painted something, it looked so bad that I was ashamed and gave up. Even the second attempt later in life when my painting technique was a bit better I didn't like how the thick layers of oil covered my ships and planes better. It was only in the third attempt with the help of Agram's workshops that I realized where I was wrong and began to be satisfied with my work."

After the introductory conversation, our Slovenian colleagues took us through their Lab, showed us what they can create "in-house" and what they do.

After the tour of the Back To Basics facilities, we started talking about the Back To Basics project and how to implement it in Croatia in the field of miniaturism.

Kruno: "I believe that the approach of the B2B project can help new generations to more easily get to know the layering of hobbies, their personal possibilities and without too much frustration, in a fun and challenging way, start mastering various branches and techniques of miniaturism, develop their skills and creativity. B2B is an interesting project and I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of it. "

At the end of the working meeting, we signed the certificate of partnership between UMS "Agram" and Back To Basics, and we look forward to starting the project in 2024!
