The Rijeka Technical Culture Community operates as an umbrella organisation bringing together 57 associations in the city of Rijeka, with approximately 3,000 members spread across 12 different branches of technical culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The representatives of the Community, led by their President Igor Majki\u0107, acquainted President Milanovi\u0107 with the broad spectre of activities, including robotics, informatics, model building, astronomy, photography, movie theatre and videography activities, electrical engineering, underwater activities, traffic culture,&nbsp; technical activities at sea and on water, as well as innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the meeting, it was pointed out that during its 80 years of existence, despite rapid technological changes; the Community\u2019s core mission had remained unchanged: the development of technical literacy and active inclusion of children and youth into the world of modern technologies through practical work and creation. In recent times, the focus has shifted to developing programmes related to the STEM field, robotics, 3D printing and digital technologies, the representatives of the Community added. Alongside its educational role, the Community holds a key position in connecting specialized associations and providing support in the implementation of their programmes and activities, it was stated at the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discussing the funding of their activities, they noted that the Community is continuously supported by the City of Rijeka, while also securing grants from European Union funds through project-based financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its long-standing contribution to the development of technical culture and education of generations of young people from Rijeka, and on the occasion of its 80<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary, the City of Rijeka also awarded the Rijeka Technical Culture Community a special recognition this year \u2013 the Gold Plaque \u201cCoat of Arms of the City of Rijeka.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the conversation, they pointed out the activities of technical culture communities would be easier and more efficient if a new Law on Technical Culture were to be enacted. Specifically, the existing law was adopted in 1993 and, they claim, does not follow the development of technical culture, thereby restricting the work of associations engaged in these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delegation of the Rijeka Technical Culture Community included President Igor Majki\u0107, Vice-President \u0110ordano Bucci, professional secretary of the Rijeka Technical Culture Community Tihana Kal\u010di\u0107, financial and accounting officer Jasminka Uj\u010di\u0107, business secretary Jadranka Kri\u0161kovi\u0107, senior adviser and coordinator for technical culture programmes of the City of Rijeka Eugenija Peri\u0107, as well as the president of the \u201cKrila Kvarnera\u201d Aviation Society, Darko Elezovi\u0107, and the president of the \u201cKrila Kvarnera\u201d Sailing Club, Marko Herak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by the Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107.<\/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\/09\/DSC_0633-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC_0633-768x432.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\/09\/DSC_0647-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC_0647-768x432.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\/09\/DSC_0692-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC_0692-768x432.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\/09\/DSC_0710-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC_0710-768x432.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\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanovi\u0107, today received a delegation from the Rijeka Technical Culture Community, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
