Who we are and what we keep

The Cultural and Educational Society Bratska sloga began its work in 1911 in Žrnovo Postrana on the island of Korčula as a reading room, with the aim of raising the educational and cultural standards of the place.

Across a century of history, the society was the centre of many activities in the village and played an important role — not only as the carrier of cultural, educational and social life, but also as the initiator of many useful actions.

Today, members gather around cultural and recreational activities that current membership finds purposeful: the development of cultural and artistic amateurism through the preparation and public performance of their own programme, encouraging young people in volunteer work and active participation in the community, organising exhibitions, public forums, workshops, plays, music and sports events, and encouraging the research of ethnological values in the local environment.

On the feast of St. Roko and the Assumption, the society takes care of the public appearance of Moštra at the Postrana Pijaca in front of the Church of St. Roko, and the children's choir Divne (founded in 2016) has been led by Lucija Skokandić since 2022.
