The 37th Raspustilište begins, and numerous programmes, in the period from 21 to 31 December, will be held online. Most of the programmes can be followed via the Zoom platform, YouTube, as well as the Facebook and Instagram pages of the Mlin Cultural Station, because, as the organizers say, the most important thing for us is to be healthy and well now.
Making an overture for a ten-day children’s programme, Raspustilište invites children of preschool and elementary school age and all lovers of beautiful words to the Literary Competition for the best New Year’s message.
