A member organization of the Croatian ALF Network, Association Breza (Birch), organized a five-day trip to the island of Iž for children from foster families. The project provided the children with various activities, including familiarization with the island, a visit to the self-sustaining estate of the "Maslinova Gora" Association, a chess tournament, playing board games, movie nights, and much more.
Through such programs of experiential pedagogy, the children are actively involved in everyday household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, cleaning, working in the garden, etc.

Organization can increase visibility and influence of Network and it's members by presenting them through established Vox Feminae festival and magazine VoxFeminae.net, and thus attract new members to the Network, as well as making stronger advocacy for gender equality, pluralism and cultural diversity with partners within Network.
