Istria is called Terra Magica (the magic land) for a good reason. Its long history, unusual customs, adventurous legends, breathtaking myths, and mesmerising stories are deeply embedded in its beauty. Dragons, witches, fairies, Kontići - the small forest guardians - princes and evil stepmothers, pirates, and many, many more. Should we call it a „storyland“ instead?
Istra Inspirit, the first storytelling project in Istria, invites you to join us on a quest to discover the most inspiring stories in our Storycamp by Istra Inspirit, where you can witness all those stories come alive and become a part of this unique and magical experience.

This is a workshop space. All participants in our workshop are to be treated fairly and with respect. Similarly, the stories we tell should emphasize developing our participants' imaginations, as we all know the importance of healthy imagination in growing children and their upbringing.
This is a positive space. There's no room for bad behaviour. The workshop leader has the authority to ask all misbehaving or troublemaking participants to leave the workshop entirely without a refund.
This is a safe space. Participants can feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves in all their creative ways. The stories we work on are copyrighted and belong exclusively to the Istra Inspirit project and should be treated as such.
This is our space. We tell stories, and you create the magic by respecting these rules of conduct.
During the second creative part of each daily workshop, we'll use kits like scissors and glue.
The workshop's leader will make sure that all the kits are being used correctly, properly and with care.
