About us

KUD Coda develops and implements socio-cultural activities with the basic purpose of including and enabling access to non-formal education and the realization of individual interests for raising competencies in the field of culture, and especially in the field of music. It is about the inclusion of people with different social barriers. The target groups of these programs are economically disadvantaged social groups – children, youth and adults; as well as children and young people with disabilites, different ethnic groups, refugees, migrants and persons with international protection. In short, social groups that require specific program and implementation forms of work. Of these programs, the free regular program for children and youth, Glasbarnica, has the longest tradition. It is intended for discovering talents and acquiring basic knowledge of instruments and music theory. Children of immigrant families and children with disabilities are included in this program, as music also has excellent therapeutic effects. In 2018, we included persons with international protection in the program of supportive artistic activities. 

Socio-cultural programs or the activities of KUD Coda are focused on sustainable results, based on the process of learning about the background of the problem of target groups and through learning/training to strengthen competencies or enable the acquisition of new ones. It is only on the basis of the evaluation of this process that we look for more lasting forms of professional cooperation or employment opportunities for adults, while we include children and young people in holiday activities or camps. Socio-cultural work is therefore a type of good practice that fills systemic gaps in social inclusion and promotes the perception of multicultural environments and intercultural cooperation in the context of tolerant coexistence and enables life experiences through multigenerational connections.
