FOTO Vukovarska zastava u srcu Tokija: Čin sjećanja hrvatskih sportaša gluhih na žrtve Vukovara i Škabrnje

Memorijalna zastava koja se nosi u Koloni sjećanja na žrtve Vukovara i Škabrnje ove je godine dobila posebnu ulogu i simbolično „produžila svoj put“ iz Hrvatske u Japan. Zastava je donirana Hrvatskom sportskom savezu gluhih, a hrvatska delegacija ju je razvila na jednom od najpoznatijih gradskih prijelaza na svijetu – Shibuya Crossingu u Tokiju. Time je zastava, koja je snažan simbol sjećanja i pijeteta, prvi put istaknuta na ovako prepoznatljivom međunarodnom mjestu, upravo u vrijeme dok hrvatski sportaši nastupaju na Deflimpijskim igrama u Tokiju. Hrvatski sportski savez gluhih čuvat će je trajno, a u Savezu najavljuju da će joj biti

Plešimo Furlanu! Balliamo la Furlana!

Author: Mirena Bagur, Mag. Oecc., folklorašica and storyteller/Croatian culture This is a personal perspective on a historic concert Let’s Dance Furlana! that recently took place in Pula/Pola, Istria. It sounds simple, yet for me it was a very complex experience that was developing over the last several years. I am lucky to call the legendary Croatian ethno-choreographer Vido Bagur, my Dad. I am not going to describe the multi-decades of his work in the folklore field, (you can read that in his bio below), but focus on the last few years – I was listening to his various adventures in

Testing the Croatian Beauty Brand L’Adria: A Local Gem with Global Potential

Croatia may be known for its stunning coastline and rich cultural heritage, but it’s also home to a rising star in the world of skincare L’Adria, a homegrown beauty brand that blends clean ingredients with a thoughtful approach. I recently had the chance to test three of their standout products: the Eye Patches, the Clarifying Serum, and the ever-popular Lip Oil and I’m happy to report that the hype is well deserved. From the moment you unbox a L’Adria product, it’s clear this isn’t just about pretty packaging (though it’s minimalist and elegant, which I love). Each formula reflects a
