Dalmatia Innova addresses a specific need: connecting returnees and descendants of Croatian emigrants with tools, knowledge and a local community for developing life and work projects in Split and Dalmatia.
Return and integration in Split
Return involves language, housing, documents, work and everyday connections. We propose workshops, encounters and connections with professionals and official sources, complementing Retorno Croata’s documentary work. The centre is in development; these programmes are not presented as services already available.
Crafts and new obrti
An obrt can cover trades, production or services; it is not limited to handicrafts. The centre proposes helping move from a skill to a sample, a first run and a project: textiles, design objects, digital fabrication, publishing and content.
Business models connecting Croatia and its diaspora
The proposal connects returnees’ skills with local contributors and diaspora contacts through design, production, communication, digital sales and user testing. Starting an activity requires checking demand, costs, capabilities and applicable requirements.
