The Organizers
“Nastolen Grad” is organized by “Da igraem” Foundation.
“Da igraem” Foundation is a nonprofit organisation whose main goal is to introduce to a wider public the magic and excitement of board games and to show people of all ages and different backgrounds that board, social and role games can help us communicate better with each other, build our emotional intelligence and learn to think outside the box. We encourage competitiveness without any hostility, and a spirit of cooperation.
