  • Freshmen Day on the Polytechnic of Šibenik

    Šibenik Polytechnic Enrolls Record Number of Students. But Is It Preparing Students for Life Here or Away in Big Cities and Abroad?

    For the second consecutive year, the Polytechnic of Šibenik has broken its own record, welcoming an even greater number of students. In a time when higher education institutions across the country face various challenges, this growth signals not only a vote of confidence in Šibenik’s education system but also the desire of young people to pursue academic dreams in smaller, vibrant towns like this coastal gem. 

    But with this success comes an important question: How many of these young minds will stay to build their careers and lives in Šibenik, and how many will eventually find their futures in larger cities or abroad?

  • Portrait Series #2: Jane's story and the Importance of Community Networks in Caring for Displaced Persons

    In February 2022, the lives of countless Ukrainians were irrevocably altered by the invasion of Russian forces. Among them was Jane Rozbitskaya, a dedicated project manager from Kyiv, who, with her husband and child, was forced to flee their beloved country for safety. This is the story of their escape, the challenges they faced, and the remarkable community spirit that helped them rebuild their lives in a foreign land. From their initial days in Odesa to their eventual refuge in Timisoara, Jane's journey illustrates the courage and solidarity that can arise even in the darkest of times.
