Creating Together, Giving Back to the Community

At Hartmann, we believe that our role goes beyond producing high-quality products - we are also committed to nurturing creativity, preserving traditions, and strengthening the communities we are part of.

One of our favorite initiatives has been the Easter workshops, organized in close cooperation with local partners such as the Community Service Center Svitanje, local kindergartens, the Association of Disabled Persons of Koprivnica-Križevci County, the Association of the Blind of Koprivnica-Križevci County, and the Library and Reading Room Fran Galović Koprivnica.

These workshops bring together around 200 participants each year, offering children and community members a playful way to learn about ecology, respect traditional values, and raise awareness about the importance of social responsibility. Helping children grow in a supportive and inspiring environment remains one of our core commitments. Under the creative guidance of artist Gordana Špoljar-Andrašić, participants design unique Easter eggs from paper pulp - shaping colorful paper balls and carefully gluing them together. This joyful activity has become a highlight for the youngest participants, sparking both laughter and pride in their creations.

The decorated eggs are then proudly displayed in the lobby of the General Hospital Dr. Tomislav Bardek in Koprivnica and in the windows of the Koprivnica Library and Reading Room Fran Galović, where the entire community can enjoy them. Through projects like these, Hartmann Croatia celebrates the power of collaboration and the joy of giving back - because a strong community is built when we create, learn, and share together.
