The Association\u2019s President, Ru\u017eica Kamenja\u0161evi\u0107, presented President Milanovi\u0107 with an overview of the Association\u2019s core mission: promoting technical culture among children and young people through extracurricular activities, workshops, competitions, and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Kamenja\u0161evi\u0107, more than 4,000 children participate in the Association\u2019s workshops each year. As the Association does not have permanent facilities, its mobile team delivers workshops in schools throughout the county in cooperation with school principals. The programme is financially supported by municipalities, cities and towns, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, and the competent Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other key activities highlighted during the meeting included the organization of county-level competitions for young technicians; the implementation of robotics, electronics, 3D modelling, and programming activities; support for technical culture associations; the organization of fairs, exhibitions, and technical events; the implementation of workshops in smaller and rural communities across Primorje-Gorski Kotar County; and the development of projects such as the Virtual Museum of Technology of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 expressed his support for the work of the Technical Culture Association, recognizing it as a valuable contribution to the education and development of young people. The Association\u2019s leadership described the meeting with the President as an additional encouragement to continue and further its activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Association President Ru\u017eica Kamenja\u0161evi\u0107, those attending the meeting at the Office of the President included Vice President Goran Gra\u010danin; Supervisory Board President Igor Petrovi\u0107; Supervisory Board member Silvano Sko\u010daj; Alan Crnkovi\u0107, President of the Technical Culture Association of Kraljevica; Mladen Stoji\u0107, Principal of the Rijeka Secondary School of Electrical Engineering and Computing; Ivan \u0160imac, Professor at the Polytechnic of Rijeka, external associate of the Association and STEM workshop instructor; and Suzana Badurina, Adviser for Sports and Technical Culture at Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied at the meeting by Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107, Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5801-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5801-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5804-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5804-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5838-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5838-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5851-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_5851-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met today with representatives of the Technical Culture Association of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, which this year marks three decades of successful activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43625,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-43626","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
