Association for creative-sustainable development and competitiveness KORAK

Enrichment of society through activities

The Association for Creative Sustainable Development and Competitiveness (KORAK) Dubrovnik was established in 2018. The association aims to enrich society through a variety of activities. We focus on the education of different sectors and the institutional development of civil society organizations to enhance their effectiveness. We encourage sustainable development in communities, with a special emphasis on rural and urban areas, providing education focused on sustainable development.

Our mission also includes environmental protection, natural and cultural heritage preservation, as well as promoting, developing, and assisting in the implementation of local community development projects. With a particular emphasis on lifelong learning, we encourage youth to actively participate in utilizing their free time.

DUtopia

The “DUTOPIA” project aims to invest in sustainable development through the education of students, teachers, members of NGOs, and volunteers, as well as raising awareness of sustainable development through a partnership between the public and civil sectors. Through activities such as education, eco workshops, and volunteer initiatives, the project addresses challenges such as lack of information, inadequate projects for sustainable development, poor waste management, and a lack of infrastructure for tourism and youth volunteer programs. The expected outcome is an increased awareness among citizens of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County about the principles of sustainable development.
