    “Small Sports for Big Achievements” – A Children's Sports Day in Pula

    On Monday, May 12, 2025, Marsovo Polje in Pula was transformed into a large sports playground, bringing together more than 220 students from 5th to 8th grade for the full-day event “Small Sports for Big Achievements,”. 

    The event was designed to encourage children to explore their sports skills through play, competition, and teamwork in a safe, inclusive, and motivating environment. Its goal was to promote healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and the active use of public spaces through sports and play – in line with the core values of the Re-Gen project.

  • Hackathon Held as Part of the Re-Gen Project: Young People from Pula Shaped Ideas for Urban Space Regeneration in the Busoler Area

    On Friday, April 25, 2025, a Hackathon was held at the newly opened Youth Center in Pula – an intensive one-day workshop organized as part of the European Re-Gen project. The event brought together around thirty students from Pula, divided into six teams, with the aim of creating innovative solutions for the regeneration of urban spaces, with a special focus on the Busoler zone.

    The goal of the Hackathon was to actively involve young people in the spatial planning process through fieldwork, needs research, and the development of conceptual solutions based on the principles of social inclusion, healthy lifestyles, and sustainable urban development. The outcomes of the workshop will serve as a basis for further elaboration of project tasks within the Integrative Action Plan (IAP) and potentially as a contribution to the development of future urban sports centers.
