Speaker
Sebastian Willems

We have an exotic speaker for Tuesday 3rd March,Sebastian Willems, who is visiting NZ from Germany.
His mother is from Belgrade but with family in Lika and other parts of the Former Yugoslavia. His father is from Hamburg and although both he and his mother live and work in Germany Sebastian has spent time with his grandparents in Belgrade and also studied at Belgrade and Zagreb University. Sebastian also speaks English.
He is very interested in migrant history and has been compiling a personal video of his discoveries in Australia and New Zealand.
He works for the European TV channel ARTE which broadcasts in several languages to many countries. He will tell us about his family migrations and travels and something about life in Germany.
He is here with his mother Sanja. On visiting the Museum and archives she was most interested in hearing about our Kolo dancing programme at the club, as she had been a kolo performer in her youth. She loved our photos and costume displays.

Anthony Segedin
Anthony Segedin has had many trips to far off places around the world, but none of these compared to the visit to the Holy Land last year in 2019.
Anthony traveled to Jordan and Israel
and found that like many travelers before him the experience was a deeply
personal journey which was spiritual, emotional, and historically interesting.
He felt the experience was more than just being a tourist.
Anthony believes that one cannot visit
the Holy Land and not in some way be moved

Berba Easter Festival
2021-03-25 00:00
Our senior Kolo group, the Tarara Kolo, will be performing at Soljans.

“For as long as we can remember we have celebrated harvest through our Berba Festival. Inviting anyone and everyone to come and join us in our excitement for the new vintage and having harvest underway. Last year, we can all agree, was a bit different, and for the first time we had to cancel Berba, but this year, we are back and better than ever!

“Berba”, defined as “Harvest” was a festival that started in Croatia back in the 18th century to celebrate the picking and gathering of grapes. Five generations later, still 100% family-owned and currently managed by the 3rd generation Tony Soljan, our family believes in continuing the tradition and celebrating our heritage!
Over Easter weekend, 3rd, 4th and 5th of April, we will be celebrating harvest in true Soljans style! With grape stomping, winery tours, good food, award-winning wine, face painting, Croatian dancing, live music, wine deals and this year to top all off, happy hour!
Book your lunch in our award-winning café ahead of time and soak up the festive atmosphere – www.soljans.co.nz/cafe/bookings – or just come along for a glass of wine and some nibbles outside!
Come join in the celebrations!”
