Description of organisation

We are located in Kulen Vakuf, in the middle of the National Park Una. The goal of our projects are to approx art to ordinary people, positively surprise people with unselfish good work, spread positive attitude and cooperation among people. In addition to art projects, the second focus of our work are children and ecology. We are committed to protecting and improving the environment and we deeply believe in the justification of the need to raise environmental awareness and improve our relationship to nature.

The three core values of ATLANTIS KV are:
Ethical: all people are welcome, operating with ethical standards, UN charter of Human Rights and (i.e. profit share)
Ecological: ecological sustainability, minimize waste and emissions for the smallest possible ecological foot print!
Local: local production helps both ecology and the local economy; with a global consciousness and awareness, the aim is to act locally for a global audience

Referring to the our slogan ‚LIVE - WORK - CREATE‘‚ we consists of three main components: WORK: agricultural projects, gardening, facility management, repairing, textile department, production of cushions and sponges, laser printing, carpentry, production of eggs, cheese, milk ,liqueur, jam, dried fruits, corn flour, and other products when available!

CREATE: all art-related activities including murals, painting of barrels and other equipment, art installations, the Magic Walk, movie screenings, screen printing, soundscapes, and other activities when available!
