Hi!
Today I want to present you one unique exhibition, now taking place for 10th year in Croatia - AkTer Fest!
AkTer Fest 2014 is taking place 1.-5. October 2014. Zagreb. We are preparing few contests where everyone from Europe can take part. Ill write about it later.. For now, let me explain what we are...
AkTer fest is a humanitarian and educational exhibition of aquaristic and terraristic that gathers hobby enthusiasts and experts speakers from the fields of aquaristic, terraristic and ecology.
Organized for the ninth time in a row, AkTer fest 2013 was visited by around 15.000 visitors and on over 2400m2 we exhibited numerous animal species in over 50 aquariums and over 250 terrariums. Exhibitors came not only from the Croatia, but also from Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Germany..
We organize guided tours through the exhibition for children in kindergartens and primary and secondary schools, and NGOs who take care of children with special needs and so far we have educated over 450 groups of children. AkTer fest, through nine years, has visited more than 60.000 visitors from Croatia and region countries.
As the part of the exhibition we offer to our visitors lectures from expert speakers in the field. In 2013 we had an honor to host the world renowned ichthyologist Mr. Heiko Bleher. Traditionally, besides the education of children and adults about proper keeping and handling of exotic pets we are particularly emphasizing the humanitarian side of the whole event in order to help the children's homes and children with special needs. Through the work and dedication of our volunteers over the years, we have helped numerous organizations and made many children and families happy.
Important thing to mention is that we are all volounteers, and we prepare and set up exhibition and act as a guides trough it every year for free. What powers us to do that is our love for hobby.
Below are few photos of past exhibitions.
Last year our show star was grown up electric eel. There was probe in aquarium and during feeding hours you can see and measure electric bursts on screen. Hardware wich made that posible was assembled by one of our member.
And this aquarium won 1.st place in Euroasia category in Russian Biotope Contest 2013.
