– Svaki puni sat, 2. 9. od 9 do 21 sat i 3. 9. od 9 do 19 sati besplatna predavanja i radionice s degustacijama
Svake godine sve popularniji i posjećeniji ZeGeVege festival održivog življenja ponovno će 2. i 3. rujna 2016. privući brojne posjetitelje na zagrebački Trg bana Jelačića. U sklopu raznovrsnih sadržaja Festivala pozitivnom ozračju pridonijet će i bogat program radionica i predavanja kroz koji će se promicati zdrava prehrana i stil života te održiv načina življenja s pozitivnim utjecajem na okoliš, ljude i životinje.
Posebna gošća, kulturologinja Ksenija V. Kutlačić iz Slovenije, 2. rujna 2016. u 20 sati održat će dojmljivo predavanje ”Životinje iz druge perspektive”. U njemu će predstaviti rad Utočišta Koki koje vodi i koje je dom spašenim životinjama. Kroz individualne priče o svinjci Dori, kravi Miši, kokoši Fridi i ostalim pojedincima koji nastanjuju utočište opisat će kako su životinje promijenile svijet posjetiteljima utočišta i njoj samoj.
Ksenijina misija da pokaže kako je svaki život vrijedan i njezini simpatični štićenici stalno plijene pažnju slovenske javnosti. Svinjica Dora televizijska je zvijezda i privlači posjetitelje svih dobi i iz raznih krajeva da svrate u utočište. Kokoš Frida redovito sudjeluje na predstavljanjima kuharice ”Fridina domaća kuhinja” i degustacijama ukusnih veganskih jela iz kuharice o kojoj se može više saznati i na njezinoj web-stranici.
Zavod za zaščito rejnih živali Koki iz Slovenije (Udruga Koki) krajem listopada obilježava dvije godine intenzivnog djelovanja na području zaštite životinja s farma. Prva je i zasad jedina takva organizacija u široj regiji, a osim konkretne pomoći životinjama u nevolji i uspostavljanja mreže ”mikroskloništa”, kroz životne priče spašenih životinja i druge projekte potiče ljude da odaberu veganski način života.
Utočište poziva na osobni kontakt ljudi sa spašenim životinjama koje žive u prirodnom okruženju sve do svoje prirodne smrti. U tom okruženju one nisu samo broj, nego moralno jednakovrijedna bića sa svojim imenom, pričom i dostojanstvom: ”Naš primarni cilj je probuditi u ljudima svijest da u moralnom smislu, ali i u samoj zamisli života, ne postoji razlika među životinjama. Tu razliku nehotice stvaramo kada štitimo i njegujemo jednu vrstu, a druge zlostavljamo.”
Posjetitelji ZeGeVege festivala će svaki puni sat, 2. rujna od 9 do 21 sat i 3. rujna od 9 do 19 sati, moći besplatno poslušati novo zanimljivo i edukativno predavanje ili degustirati izvrsnu vegansku hranu na nekoj od maštovitih radionica.

– Every hour on 2 September from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. and 3 September from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. free lectures and vegan food workshops and tastings
On September 2 and 3, 2016, ZeGeVege festival, a festival of sustainable living, which is becoming more popular and more frequented each year, will once more attract numerous visitors to main Zagreb’s square. There will be a rich programme contributing to a positive atmosphere of the Festival, including various workshops and lectures promoting healthy nutrition and lifestyle as well as sustainable living that has a positive influence on the environment, people, and animals.
On September 2, 2016, at 8 p.m., a special guest, culturologist Ksenija V. Kutlacic from Slovenia will hold an impressive lecture titled “Animals from another perspective”. In it, she will present the work of an animal shelter “Koki”, that she runs and that is a home to saved animals. Through individual stories about Dora the pig, Misa the cow, Frida the chicken, and other animals, she will describe how they changed the world of the visitors of the shelter and her own.
Ksenija’s mission is to show that every life counts and how her endearing protégés are constantly riveting the attention of the Slovenian public. Dora the pig is a television star attracting visitors of every age and from all over. Frida the chicken regularly participates at promotions of “Frida’s homecooking” cookbook and at tastings of tasty food from the cookbook. You can find out more about the cookbook on its website.
At the end of October, the Institution for the protection of livestock animals (Koki Association), is marking its 2nd anniversary of intensive work in the area of protecting farm animals. It is the first, and for the moment, the only such organisation in the wider region, and apart from providing specific help to animals in need and setting up the “microshelter” network, it is also encouraging people to choose a vegan way of life through stories of saved animals and various other projects.
The shelter invites people to have a personal contact with saved animals who are living in their natural habitats until their natural deaths. There they are not just a number, but morally equal beings with their own name, story, and dignity: “Our primary goal is to make people aware that in the moral sense, but also in the concept of life itself, there is no difference between animals. We inadvertently make that difference when we protect and take care of one species and abuse another.”
Every hour, on 2 September from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and 3 September from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m, visitors of the ZeGeVege festival will be able to attend free of charge new interesting and educational lectures or taste excellent vegan food at various imaginative workshops. Some of the themes are: making eggless pancakes, plant-based diet during pregnancy, making of natural cosmetics, gluten-free food, the connection between veganism and sport, green juices and superfood, BeGeVege festival, permaculture, food recycling and world hunger, activism and shelter animals, vegan fritters, veganism and feminism, seitan meals, raw food pastries, veganism and macrobiotics, the influence of nutrition on ecology…
Apart from interesting lectures and workshops, for the ninth year in a row this unique festival in Croatia will offer more than 100 domestic and foreign interesting exhibitors of healthy food, eco-friendly products and cosmetics not tested on animals, six restaurants with a delicious selection of burgers, raw cakes and plant-based ice-creams, as well as performances all over Ban Jelacic Square of many musicians and dancers who support sustainable living and animal rights and protection.
An attendance rate of 40 000 visitors has confirmed that anyone can find something for themselves at the ZeGeVege festival!
