Creative Mentorship Advisory and Honorary Board Annual Meeting at Mokrin

How does the Creative Mentorship team get a powerful boost of support, inspiration, and motivation during the intense period of annual planning? By bringing together every year members of our Advisory and Honorary Boards from around the world in the inspiring setting of Mokrin House! This year, our annual gathering took place from May 30 to June 1.

With the continuous support of our Advisory and Honorary Boards, Creative Mentorship has been developing strategically for many years. The boards bring together Serbian and international experts in mentorship, cultural diplomacy, cultural management, cultural heritage, marketing, and more. They enrich our organization with their knowledge, ideas, experience, and sincere dedication.

This year’s AB & HB gathering began at Fruška Gora, at the Forest University—an extraordinary initiative founded by Višnja Kisić (the founder of our program and a member of the Advisory Board) and Goran Tomka (our alumnus). Višnja and Goran shared the origins and vision of the Forest University, explained how such a unique place functions, and guided us in exploring what we can learn from the natural world around us—and of which we are an inseparable part.

Through gatherings like this one, as well as year-round collaboration with such outstanding professionals, we strengthen the work of our organization and our team. In turn, this enhances the programs and projects we implement in Serbia, across the region, and internationally—helping us make a positive impact in this deeply challenging moment for our planet.

A huge thank-you to Mokrin House for their warm hospitality—it’s always a place where we feel at home! And our heartfelt thanks to the Forest University for such a truly transformative experience.

Finally, our deepest gratitude goes to the members of our Advisory and Honorary Boards for the unwavering support, inspiration, and generosity they have shared with us over the years.
