EU project manager & logistics manager of the youth club
Certificate for project management of EU funds from Experta Business School and is currently attending accounting courses
Zoran Pavletić is the founder and president of the Association Arteco Pavletić. As an artist and entrepreneur, looking at the rural areas of Brod-Posavina County in Croatia, instead of a rural void, he saw a blank canvas ready to be filled with exciting projects and colorful people from all over the world. His realization of this potential and his decision to bring to life what he saw in his mind led to the establishment of our association. His constant striving for further global cooperation and improvement led to turning the Arteco Pavletić Association into the multifaceted and proactive organization it is today. He is responsible for the daily functioning of the association, cooperation with partners and planning, organization and implementation of projects. He is also the author of the sculpture of the Pavletić Theme Park and is a pioneer in Croatia of the concept of creating sculptures from environmentally friendly materials such as sawdust and vines. As such, he is the artistic director of the association, which is why his ideas are the driving force behind the artistic growth and direction of the association. Wanting to share his knowledge and experience, he strives to support young social entrepreneurs and young amateur artists from associated rural areas, as well as to encourage the participants of our projects to find the courage to accept the challenge of such projects themselves and transform themselves into caring and productive leaders of their own communities. Always having a sense of solidarity with the different or disenfranchised and not wanting to leave anyone out of the process of building and enjoying well-being, he made sure that we included various marginalized groups in our projects. As a source of vision for the future development of the association, his passionate advocacy of the concept of social entrepreneurship led to the transformation of Artec into the first social enterprise in Brod-Posavina County in Croatia.
