IGOR

Under the leadership of Full Professor Anita Pavković, participants of the banking academy 2024 visited our Lifelong Learning Centre in Nature, IGOR, on July 4-5, 2024. Enjoying accommodation in our holiday house AKORD on the ecological permaculture estate in Marindvor, during the visit the participants went through interactive honey-making workshops, an educational tour of the ecological permaculture estate, which includes an orchard, a garden with vegetables and medicinal herbs, an apiary, meadows, a stream, oak forest... We were reminded of the importance of socially responsible behavior in the local community and sustainability, and an oak tree was planted, which the participants of the Banking Academy 2024 gave the symbolic name "Oak of resistance" in the spirit of the financial system and banks. We carried out a small ecological forest cleaning campaign. A game of "throwing an oak stump from the shoulder" was devised and played on the spot. The participants gained new knowledge and insights and had a lot of fun, and at the same time enjoyed the generational challenge of physical socializing in a natural environment with few urban disruptors.

Full Professor Pavković: "The idea was to move away from the ubiquitous theoretical and Power point ex cathedra communication about sustainability towards sustainability in practice. The echoes and reactions of the participants were surprisingly good".

Many thanks to all participants of the Banking Academy for their active participation and exchange of experiences.
I love Marind💚or!
