U Hrvatskoj ne postoji mogucnost skolovanja u fotografiji
Struktura podrske talentiranima?

Postovani,

Moje je ime Danko Malek, i trenutno sam zaposlen kao ugovorni djelatnik za DoD.

Molio bih vas za pomoc, da me ako mozete uputite na pravu adresu ili link ili osobu koja bi mi mogla odgovoriti na pitanje - postoji li zaklada koja pomaze studiranje hrvatskih studenanta u inozemstvu?

Molim vas za trenutak da pojasnim situaciju:

Pisem Vam u zelji da pomognem jednom mojemu prijatelju, izvrsnom fotografu. Prije dosta vremena vodio sam mali foto klub gdje se Dario Andjal upisao kao ucenik 8 razreda osnovne skole. Zaljubivsi se u fotografiju, jos je tada, na nevjericu svih nas, govorio kako ce se upisati na fakultet fotografije u Pragu. Izvanredna motivacija pratila ga je tijekom daljeg skolovanja kao fotografa gdje je bio najbolji u klasi. Po
zavrsetku srednje skole, poceli su problemi, a to je da ga niti jedna institucija u Hrvatskoj nije htjela prepoznati kao buduceg fotografa, podsmjeh ga je pratio od ministarstva do lokalnih zajednica i nikakvu pomoc nije dobio, koliko je meni poznato, dosad, uprkos svim pismima preporuke njegovih dotadasnjih ucitelja.

U Hrvatskoj ne postoji mogucnost skolovanja u fotografiji, dalje od srednje skole te je stoga njegov san bio studiranje u Pragu. Dvije godine je zivio u Pragu o svom trosku i trosku svojih roditelja, ucio jezik i isao na predavanja otvorena za javnost, obje godine se prijavio na prijemne ispite i nije upisao godinu samo stoga sto je bio premlad, ne zbog manjka znanja ili umijeca. Prosle je godine u jesen je napokon upisao
FAMU ( http://www.amu.cz/?r_id=111  - www.famu.cz ). Njegovi roditelji su ga podrzavali cijelo ovo vrijeme, kao i sada, ali u ovom trenutku mu je stipendija neophodno potrebna kako bi zaista mogao zavrsiti ovaj fakultet. Nakon svega sto je ucinio, nitko vise ne sumnja da ce on u tome i uspjeti.

Dario je prvi student iz Hrvatske nakon 9 godina koji je uspio upisati ovaj fakultet, jedan od rijetkih ikad. Te se je godine primalo svega 2 studenta iz zemalja koje nisu clanice EU. Konkurencija za upis je svake godine ogromna posto je FAMU u svjetskom vrhu takvih institucija.

Velika mi je zelja da pomognem mom prijatelju kojega sam gledao jos kao dijete koje se zaljubljuje u fotografiju, gledao kako njegov talent nadmasuje samo njegova upornost i zajedno sam s njim osjetio sramotu kada su ga sve institucije u Republici Hrvatskoj odbile, niti ne pokusavsi pomoci mu, pocesto i ismijavajuci njegov san.

Vasa zaklada pomaze mladim ljudima da studiraju u Hrvatskoj, molim Vas za pomoc, uputite me na zakladu slicne vrste ali koja pomaze mladim Hrvatima da studiraju u inozemstvu. U Hrvatskoj ne postoji mogucnost skolovanja u fotografiji iznad razine srednje skole, ali ako ne budemo imali strucnjaka na tom polju, nece nikada ni biti. Hvala sto ste uzeli vremena da procitate ovo pismo i unaprijed zahvaljujem na svakoj informaciji koju mi mozete pruziti.

Sir / THIMC

My name is Danko Malek and I am an DoD contractor

I write you with an appeal for help concerning information about right address, web link or a person who can give me answer is there a scholarship fund that helps young Croatians in their studying abroad?

Please let me explain:

I am writing this e mail driven by wish to help one my friend, an excellent photographer. Quite a while ago, I was conducting a small photography club where a young boy named Dario Andjal joined when he was still in Junior school. He fell in love with photography and even then, his dream become studying photography in Prague, though none of us there believed that in that time. His determination was enormous,
and he finished all Photography High School grades as best in class. Problems started when he finished high school. Not a single institution in the Republic of Croatia did not find will to help him, or recognize a potential he had. On some occasions he was almost ridiculed and never taken seriously. Up to now, as I can tell, he received none help at all, despite all letters of recommendation from his previous teachers.

There is no institution in Croatia that can give education about photography above high school. Therefore, Dario's dream was to study photography in Prague. After high school, he lived in Prague for two years, learning language and attending classes open to public, all on his own and his parents' expense. Both years he tried to enter this faculty, FAMU, but both times he was declined because he was under age stated by faculty rules, not that he had lack of knowledge and performance. Last falls, he finally passed exams and became full time student of FAMU ( http://www.amu.cz/?r_id=111   - www.famu.cz ). All this time, as well as now, his parents were his only support and now he is in great need for a scholarship that can help him finish this college. After all he has done and shown, no one doubts he will finish it with high grades.

Dario is firs student that came from Croatia in FAMU in last 9 years, one of few ever. Year he entered as full time student, only two vacancies from countries outside of EU were open, and competitition was hard, as always is because FAMU is one of finest and most prestigious such institutions in the world.

My great wish is to help my friend, whom I watched as a child falling in love in photography, was there watching his talent being overcome only by his determination, and with him I felt ashamed when all institutions, from the Department of Culture and Education all the way down to City council turned him down, not even tried to help him and sometimes even ridiculing his dream.

Your scholarship fund helps young people to study in Croatia, but I ask you for help to point me in the right direction, a scholarship fund that helps young Croatians to study abroad. There is no possibility of education in photography above high school in The Republic of Croatia, and there never will be, unless we don't help our young people to gather education elsewhere.

Thank your for your time, and any information will be greatly appreciated.
