ROKOTOK

RokOtok is a project created in memory of Rok, a curious, cheerful boy who planned to visit all Croatian inhabited islands with his father, but the adventure was abruptly interrupted at the age of thirteen, when Rok left this world. His father, Domagoj Jakopović, better known as Ribafish, decided to fulfill his promise to his son, swim from island to island, continue the story and include other children and parents in it in order to realize their never-ending life project together.

The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the importance of the time parents spend with their children through sports, play and learning, and to develop and encourage children's curiosity, interests and spirit of inquiry. And precisely through games and activities with parents, he plans to teach the kids about the cultural and natural heritage of each island he visits. Additionally, through specially prepared ecological workshops, Ribafish will point out the importance of preserving the environment, with a special emphasis on ecological waste disposal.

Project idea

The idea of ​​this unique project was born while Ribafish was writing the book RokOtok about his conversations and travels with Rok, and his desire to turn his son's adventure travel companion into a socially useful project to highlight the importance of positive quality joint activities between children and parents.

While Rok and dad Domagoj managed to visit eight Croatian islands, the idea of ​​this project is to achieve their life's goal through three stages in which Ribafish will connect all inhabited Croatian islands by swimming.

Do you know how many there are?

Geography professor Domagoj counted no less than 50 of them!

When was the last time you actively socialized?

It is a question that Riba will ask children and their elders, and through a conversation in which an excerpt from the book RokOtok will introduce them, they will be reminded of the almost forgotten charms of spending time together.

Upon Ribafish's arrival on the islands, children and their parents will search for hidden treasures in his company and along the way learn something more about ecological waste disposal, various new games they can play and interesting facts about the island they are staying on.

They will talk about the importance of learning, socializing and various ways with the help of which they can learn how to help our Planet and what we can do for our better and cleaner future, apart from picking up trash after ourselves, sometimes for others.
