Program basis is of the project is education and production through different workshops that cover fields from multimedia and new technologies, architecture, music, theater, visual arts... Project OTOKULTIVATOR is more than academic input from EASA - Croatia, new technologies from Mi2 and urban youth culture from URK, it is also about the new qualities introduced in creative intertwining of these fields and their attempt to answer the complex issues concerning tourism and life and development in island - isolated environment. The goal of the project is to establish multimedia and multidisciplinary residential center in ex-military base of Samogor on island Vis, as a location that would be at disposal to the civic and independent cultural initiatives for production of their work. Non-consumerist and ecological "nature-safe" tourism is the essence of the project that should help revitalize the island and preserve it's unique advantages of isolation and untouched nature.
