Support the NOVsky Festival – science and art for everyone! (18.9.2026.)

We are the Novska Youth Association, organizers of the NOVsky Festival – a unique festival of science, art and technology that has been gathering children, youth, families, educators and creatives from all over Croatia for six years. Through interactive workshops, experiments, gaming content, exhibitions and art programs, we bring science and creativity closer to young people in a fun and accessible way.

This year we are raising funds to successfully organize and enhance the new edition of the NOVsky Festival.

The NOVsky festival is growing year by year. So far, it has gathered more than 7,000 visitors and more than 50 exhibitors, becoming a recognizable event in Novska and beyond. However, despite the great interest and support of the community, the available funds are not sufficient to realize this year's festival in the scope and quality that young people and visitors expect.

In order to maintain free access to the contents and enable further development of the festival, we need the help of everyone who believes in the importance of investing in young people.

In smaller communities like Novska, opportunities for young people are often limited. NOVsky Festival creates a space for learning, research, creativity and the development of new skills. The festival encourages interest in STEM fields, develops digital competences, connects young people with mentors and experts, and shows that innovation and quality content are not reserved only for big cities.

We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to discover their talents, and NOVsky is a place where many take that first step.

The collected funds will be directed to:

• festival organization and production (public address system, lighting and technical support)
• implementation of STEM workshops and procurement of necessary materials and equipment
• development of gaming, technological and digital content
• providing a meal that includes a sandwich and juice for exhibitors and volunteers
• promotion of the festival and informing the public (production of promotional videos and photos, management of social networks, online advertising, printing of posters, flyers, T-shirts with the festival logo for exhibitors and volunteers and other promotional materials)
• logistical and operational costs of the organization

Our goal is to provide an even higher quality, more comprehensive and more accessible festival for all visitors.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all individuals, companies, partners, volunteers and friends of the festival who contribute to helping NOVsky continue to grow. Every donation, regardless of the amount, is an investment in knowledge, creativity and the future of young people.

Thank you for working with us to build a community that believes in young people and their opportunities.
