We have already announced the 2022 edition of Split Tech Cup, our favorite cage ball tournament! It will take place on December 4th at the Sports Center Mačak starting at 4 PM.

The goal of this humanitarian cage ball tournament is to gather funds for buying laptops for children whose families don’t have the means to do so and this goal has been the same throughout all its previous editions.

A minor change we introduced into the goodness of this year’s Split Tech Cup is the fact that this event is the first test event for the launch of the app being developed by DonatQR in our collaborative EU project “Digital Volunteer Community”.

The DonatQR team has been working hard on developing the app whose purpose is to systemize and automate three types of campaigns related to volunteering and charity. The ultimate goal is for civil society organizations to be able to utilize the app to create campaigns for financial donations, physical donations, and volunteer actions.

The additional benefit of the app is that it will also help potential donors and volunteers find their chosen cause more easily, and donate their funds, goods, or time without too much hassle.

Teams can now apply to the tournament via the app that can be found here! 😀

Simply follow the steps the DonatQR team created within the app and make your donation in order to fully sign your team up for the tournament.

Make sure you do it as soon as possible because we have heard that there’s a lot of interest to support the cause behind the Split Tech Cup and take part in this first test event for the Digital Volunteer Community project!

The overall goal of the Digital Volunteer Community project is to aid the digitization and transformation of civil society organizations in the field of organization and management of volunteer activities.

The Digital Volunteer Community project is financed by grants totaling HRK 462,648.00, with HRK 393,250.80 HRK coming from the ESF and HRK 69,397.20 being covered from the state budget through the call “Strengthening the capacity of CSOs for responding to the needs of the local community“.

Through this Digital Volunteer Community project lasting 14 months, until the end of May 2023, a whole series of free educational activities are planned to strengthen the capacity of employees and volunteers in CSOs.

We are looking forward to the Split Tech Cup and this first test event for the Digital Volunteer Community Project!

Researching is woven into my DNA, but I am a musician at heart. Interested in too many things and always curious. Forever in love with Split and enchanted by people who teach me new things. When I am not creating content about Split's tech community, you will find me in singing rehearsals, somewhere in nature, in the theater, or with my head stuck in a book. I do my best to live by the verse from the opera "Fedora" by Umberto Giordano: "Love forbids you not to love."
