Udruga mladih za promicanje aktivizma "Aktivist"

The Youth Association for the Promotion of Activism "Aktivist" (commonly shortened to Aktivist) is a non-governmental, youth-oriented civic association based in Split, Croatia. Registered as an association (udruga), it describes itself as an organization dedicated to promoting activism. Its public profile centers on grassroots community organizing: volunteer engagement, free public workshops, cultural and social events, and the upkeep of a small library and gathering space where locals can work or study. According to its official website, the association's activities include regular community events such as Bazâr, a gathering featuring fashion accessories, clothing, books, hobby supplies, and decorative items alongside musical selections. The association also runs free creative workshops; a pottery workshop led by a young mentor in November 2024 is one documented example. The organization also marks and takes part in civic occasions such as International Volunteer Day, thanking volunteers, friends, and family for their time and energy. Aktivist is governed by a presidency. In March 2025 the association announced new leadership: Lea Štambuk and Maja Mimica succeeded Katarina Duplančić Dugopoljac and Andrea Munjiza to represent Aktivist's interests over the following two years. The change was presented publicly as a normal generational handover within a volunteer-driven organization. As a civil society organization rather than a commercial company, Aktivist does not sell branded products in the traditional sense. Its "offering" is a program of activities: volunteer action, workshops, cultural events, a library available for borrowing and working, and community support. Its audience is primarily young people and residents of Split and the surrounding area. The association communicates in Croatian through its website and social channels, and its work is rooted in the local community rather than a national or international market. Because the organization is small and locally focused, the available evidence contains no detailed financial, membership, or founding data. What is clear is that it remains active: website news updates extend into early 2025, including the leadership change and the January/February 2025 Bazâr event, indicating that its program of activities continues.

Udruga mladih za promicanje aktivizma "Aktivist" is a Croatian non-governmental organisation based in Split. It is registered as an association (udruga), the standard legal form for civic associations in Croatia, and its stated purpose is the promotion of activism, particularly among young people. Public descriptions identify it simply as a non-governmental organisation from Split, Croatia. The association operates as a volunteer-driven community hub. Its programme has included a community market and social event called Bazâr, free creative workshops such as ceramics, and the provision of a library and meeting space that local people may use for work or study. It also observes civic dates such as International Volunteer Day, using them to thank volunteers and supporters. Leadership of the association is exercised through a presidency. In March 2025, Aktivist announced a change of leadership: Lea Štambuk and Maja Mimica took over the representation of the association's interests for the following two years, succeeding Katarina Duplančić Dugopoljac and Andrea Munjiza. The announcement framed the change as a handover intended to keep pushing the association toward its goals. Documented activities from late 2024 and early 2025 include a free ceramics workshop held on 14 November 2024 at Kocka under mentor Matea Ćevanić, an International Volunteer Day message on 5 December 2024, and the Bazâr 1/25 event held in early 2025. These activities indicate a continuing, locally focused programme rather than a commercial operation. Because the organisation is small and community-based, comprehensive historical records — founding date, founding members, formal registration details, funding sources and membership figures — are not available in the supplied evidence. Its history is therefore best understood through its ongoing public activities and its periodic leadership renewals.
