Description:

Ivana Šatrak, mag.paed/PM & co-founder of NGO 'KORAK'.

We welcome Ivana Šatrak, a placemaker and architect. While cities often take the spotlight in placemaking, Ivana brings us a fresh perspective — from a small Croatian village called Kolarec, where she’s “cooking” a sequence of rural placemaking projects.

In this heartfelt conversation, Ivana shares how Kolarec — once nearly destroyed by fire in 1938 and rebuilt through collective effort — now faces the challenges of depopulation and disconnection. Through her vision for a memorial garden and a regenerative educational park, she hopes to reignite community bonds and remind us that placemaking belongs everywhere, not just in urban centers.

Join us for a story about memory, resilience, and reimagining rural life — one shared space at a time.
