On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, students created an audio comic that combines several elements:

  • the language part – modernizing the language and summarizing fairy tales by adapting archaic words and expressions to a more modern, accessible lexicon that is more accessible to younger generations
  • translation into two foreign languages, English and Ukrainian, in order to bring fairy tales closer to a wider global and recent Croatian immigrant audience
  • a creative expression that, through the visual structure of the comic, conjures up the magical world of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić to the reader
  • creative expression – dramatic performance of the text by roles and audio production
  • technical-informatics part in which elements of auditory content are connected with media culture using QR codes.
