Yesterday we collected grapes and started the 27th Smrikva Bowl 2022 - Smrikve Malvazija & Angvsta wine production

We just collected grapes and started 2022 Smrikve wine production… the wine collection of limited 130 bottles will be made as per tradition… and around 100 bottles will be donated to the families participating the 27th Smrikva Bowl 2022 edition…

As per tradition we will do our best to make good wine…

Smrikve Malvazija is thanks to the Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors spread in 98 countries and all the continents. Last year we created a limited collection of 130 bottles and never above 200 bottles… it is always a gift of our family to the Smrikva Bowl families and to our friends.

Wine and gastronomy are part of a culture and wine bottle that we give to every Smrikva Bowl family is part of our cultural gift that every year we are pleased to make to our guests coming from all around the World.

The wine making is the tradition in Smrikve since 1957…

The wine production is a passion for many Istrian families and my grandfather Mate was a great lower of wine and wine making. The first thing he made in 1957 when he settled in Smrikve was planting the vineyard.

Probably not many Smrikva Bowl readers do know the story how my grandfather agreed to take out a row of vineyard to create the space for the court where today the Smrikva Bowl finals are played.

My father, me and my Uncle continue the wine making tradition in Smrikve…

Several years ago I bought a vineyard close to the vineyard planted by my grandfather and today my father and me are doing our best to get the best from what Malvasia grapes can give.

The first phase of the processing the grapes started yesterday…

We collected the grapes but also separated the juice of the rest to obtain the golden color that usually our Istrian Malvazija (Malmsey) wine has. Now for two days the fermentation will be blocked to allow the wine to start its transformation process cleaner than it is today after the collection.

In Smrikve we produce Istrian Malvazija (Malmsey) and during the Smrikva Bowl we use to give a bottle of wine to every family as a memory to their Smrikva Bowl. Probably one day this bottles might be something special if our kids continue to love tennis game and continue to write the Smrikva Bowl story with their results.

Wine as part of the culture…

In the regions where the wine is produced the wine was always part of the culture of the particular site. Also the wine we produce is part of the Smrikve tradition and this is the reason why we are pleased to give a bottle to every family that come to visit us for the Smrikva Bowl.

There is an old Istrian saying: ”Vino od loze i mliko od koze” and “Kruh je za tilo a vino je za dušu”. The translation from Croatian is difficult because you loose the feel of the language. Goat is the symbol of Istria and the meaning of the first saying would be: ”Wine from the grapevine and milk from the goat” and the meaning of the second would be: “Bread is for the body, wine is for the soul”.

With yesterday collection as I said we started the process of transforming the grapes into wine for the 27th Smrikva Bowl 2022 edition of Malvazija.

The main Istrian wines are: Malvazija, Terran, Refosc and Muscatel.

The glory of the Istrian wine dates back to over 2000 years ago…

For those who are not familiar with Istrian wine I am pleased to remined the reader that Istrian wine was considered one of the best in the Roman Empire, around 20 centuries ago, and was preferred by Livia Drusilla, also known as Iulia Augusta, the wife of the first Roman Emperor Augustus.

Livia Drusilla’s preferred wine was the Istrian wine Pucinum. Livia is considered one of the most influent women in the beginning of the Roman Empire era. It is not know what wine it was because todays wines were brought in Istria mostly by Venetians.

Todays Istrian Malvazija’s story is related with Serenissima… the Venetian Republic

The story of Istrian Malvazija, cultivated in Istria since the end of the 16th century, is fascinating and it relates to the Venetians.

At the beginning of the 15th century the Venetians occupied Peloponnesus in Greece. In the Peloponnesus region there is a town Monemvassia, also named Malvasia. From this town the Venetians started to import the wine into Venice and the other areas controlled by the Venetian Republic.

This wine was so successful and became so famous all over Europe that Venetians decided to plant huge vineyards on the biggest Greek island, Crete.

Between the 16th and 18th century Malvasia become the most important wine in Europe. In 1570 the Turks conquered Crete and Venetians decided to plant Malvasia vineyards in other areas that had friendly relations with Venice which, at that time, also included Istria.

In end Malvasia is in Istria since the above mentioned period while it is not known the sort of the wine that was preferred by the wife of the Emperor Augustus, Livia Drusilla – Julia Augusta.

Giacomo Casanova in his diary talks about another Istrian sort and another great wine…

Giacomo Casanova visited Vrsar several times and in his diary he describes a good wine Refosc and nice women… That Refosc could be Terran too because if you look at the grapes you will hardly note the difference and today Refosc is mostly cultivated in the Slovenian part of Istria while in other areas the dominant sort is Malvasia.

Another excellent wine can be found around Momjan area made of Muscatel sort.

On Istria from Smrikve you can learn much more…

To learn more about Istrian gastronomy and wine please visit the E-book about Istrian cultural heritage on www.smrikve.com/istria/ named “Istria from Smrikve” or join Discover Istria from Smrikve group on Linked In.

The grapes are very nice this year… and the wine should be extraordinary again…

From today… the most important part of wine transformation process starts ;)… and at the beginning of November we will make the first quality level tasting check :)…

Unfortunately, even the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 will not take place due to pandemic

Before pandemic we usually gathered always 100+ candidates representing on average over 40 countries and six continents… for this year we reduced the draws in order to increase our possibilities of gathering to maximum 64 players… and there were so many super brave candidates representing 35+ countries and 5 continents who passed the selection process…

During Smrikva Bowl we are always all together… parents, kids, coaches and our 50 staff members… and in our last Government pandemic instructions in public gathering is allowed the presence of maximum 25 people at the moment… and our reduced event this year would have gathered 300 people in total…

Below, I am sharing the confirmation letter written to the players who passed the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 selection process…

Dear 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 generation,

I am pleased to confirm you that your child successfully completed the Smrikva Bowl selection process and would have been invited to play the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 edition…

At the same time I am sorry to inform you that, after careful considerations of the pandemic evolution, we decided that there will be no minimum safety conditions this summer which are required to celebrate the 2011 born Smrikva Bowl generation…

It is the second very difficult acceptance letter to write in a row in our 25 years history… the pandemic World War is still on going and unfortunately it will not end before summer as I hoped…

Since its foundation Smrikva Bowl was envisaged as children birthday party that last for days… and the current situation does not allow us to gather in larger groups and celebrate…

I had hope after vaccine was discovered that this first World War of the 21st century will end this spring and that before summer we had good chances to return to normal life in Europe… but the slowness of the vaccination process makes scientists agree that we still need to be patient and that this war will be over but not as soon as we all wish…

Small number of people in the world have immunity and public authorities in most parts of the world continue to ban public gatherings…

I am sorry that also 2011, as well as 2010 Smrikva Bowl generation, will not have Smrikva Bowl memories but will remember Smrikva Bowl for the „war“ kind of situation that humanity lived since the end of 2019…

It was my honor to learn about your children… and I wish to share with you that the talent level of the candidates that passed this year Smrikva Bowl selection process is very high… and is in line with the best past Smrikva Bowl generations…

I was impressed by the passion your children and your family put into developing their talents despite pandemic… and after this crisis is over I am sure your children will shine on the world stage… and I will be pleased to follow them…

The only connection that we have so far are few emails exchanged over the past months with those who started their candidacy process in January… and we have in common friends that connected us, our Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors who supported your children candidacies… with some children I am pleased to know their coaches… and with very few families we know each other personally being some of you brothers and sisters of the past Smrikva Bowl players…

I wish to share in the following what I do share with children during their orientation and final registration… how the Smrikva Bowl week looks like… being each of you able to visualize your dreams… I learned that reading your dream letters… and proving in your candidacy materials to be Smrikva Bowl children… I wish to share what we will miss to live together…

I will not be able to talk to your children and meet them in person on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th of June when we usually have the final registration and orientation Smrikva Bowl moment…

When I have the opportunity to see your books that you planned to donate to the Smrikva Bowl library and to exchange few words and smiles with each of you… explain to you the Smrikva Bowl week you’ve been looking for to live for so long thanks to your friends or brothers and sisters, coaches who introduced to you the Smrikva Bowl story… and I will not be able to ask you to circle in the final registration form what would you like to play for… and to encourage you to nurture your dreams in person…

That is the moment when I have the opportunity to give you some initial Smrikva Bowl gifts… and each gift has its own symbolic story that may help you and may have importance in building your development path… and I will miss the smile in your eyes when I show you each item that become traditionally our first gift to you…

I will not be in position to present each of the Smrikva Bowl 2011 born seeds on Monday morning, 21st of June, at 8:30 AM during the opening ceremony… when I usually ask you to bring your passports, and passports for the Smrikva Bowl are your tennis rackets, … during that moment I like to share in just few words dreams of each of you with all the generation and recall the Ambassadors who supported your candidacies…

Using the music that it takes me months to select that may inspire you further to go for your dreams…

I will not be able to gather all the generation during the most important Smrikva Bowl moment… that was envisaged for 22nd of June at 6:00 PM… when I have the pleasure to present each book donated to the Smrikva Bowl library… and nominate each player in person Smrikva Bowl Ambassador for several countries you happen to be linked with and for the whole world…

I will not be able to share with them the always amazing Ambassador’s package gift… with other valuable gifts… and let each of you make in person the Grand Slam wish that generations keep sharing with their olive tree… when they donate their names to the planted olive tree…

There are 27 Smrikva Bowl players holding 33 junior Grand Slam titles and 1 senior Grand Slam so far… and there are many more who competed on Grand Slams… and I am sure many of you will also be Grand Slam players because that was written in your dreams… and many Smrikva Bowl children dreams in the long run become true…

We will not be in position to celebrate that moment with ice cream that we have on Smrikva Bowl thanks to Donna Vekic’s family since 2004… as we always do after the Ambassador’s nomination ceremony…

I will not be able to let you bring home the magic bottle of one of the most special olive oils in the world… and to let your family bring home a very prestige bottle of wine we do in Smrikve…

I will not be in position to share with families the answers to the question that I usually share during Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Forum on 23rd of June at 6:00 PM… and share how much this generation trains and how much the past Smrikva Bowl generations trained in order to increase chances for reaching your dreams one day…

I will not be able to teach each of you and let you bring home „IGRA“ game, the funny doubles game, that generations of Smrikva Bowl players started to love… the fun to play it with music and with a new friend… we always started „IGRA“ game on Wednesday night after the Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talent development path Forum…

I will not be able to share with each of the children the „Lucky Draw“ gift… a magic moment that is already tradition on our schedule on Thursday at 4:00 PM… and I will not be able to share in person many inspiring stories of our past Smrikva Bowl players that for years have been sending me some signed items for you… and let the children live this tennis circle of life story… moment when each Smrikva Bowl player receive a memory item signed by past Smrikva Bowl players…

I will not be able to bring you to visit Brioni islands on Friday… and let you see the natural paradise… where dinosaurs lived millions years ago… the magic place with long and impressive historical heritage… place that Robert Koch healed from malaria more than a century ago…

I am sorry that you will not have the opportunity to eat every day our sandwiches that your players’ tag allows you to have during the whole event… several young staff members told me that for them this are the best sandwiches in the world… and those sandwiches helped us always to create that birthday party feeling that last for more than a week… and we will miss the special pizza party on Friday night with the semifinals and finals of the „IGRA“ funny doubles… with chilling music in our garden under the stars during a pleasant summer night…

We will not live the magic finals with the ball kids… and we will not be able to let you live the awarding ceremony moment… the bike ride of the Champions… the Champions signing of the US OPEN Wilson Ball that arrives from the US OPEN… that also Dominic Thiem signed during his Smrikva Bowl with wish at the time to win it one day and last year he did it… to cheers those who would have been going to Patrick Mouratoglou Academy and to cheer those who would have been awarded with Wilson International contracts…

We will miss the moment of the cake… and the moment of our pool party where we all celebrate together many new friendships that have been made during the week…

I am very sorry for all the above living memories we will miss…

In all the above moments during Smrikva Bowl we are always all together… parents, kids, coaches and our 50 staff members… and in our last Government pandemic instructions in public gathering is allowed the presence of maximum 25 people at the moment… and our reduced event this year would have gathered 300 people in total…

Smrikva Bowl mission is to inspire, develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity… and I always dream Smrikva Bowl children may develop into peace makers one day… and their rackets and skills might be instrument of peace and instruments to foster mutual understanding among people…

Culture, children, sport and music are part of the Smrikva Bowl idea of the cosmopolitan world… each of the above four elements I elected long time ago as part of my vision of cosmopolitan world… they were all chosen being each of them able to cross human borders… and each four of them I find being pillars of peace… and it is true that over the last year the world I dream about is shaking but I am sure this pandemic will end and peaceful travel will return in the long run…

Tennis players are, with very few others professionals, the first global citizens of today… and they already re-started to travel around the World, playing in big stadiums with no public at the moment… and once the stadiums will be full with public again we will all know that the pandemic is over…

I hope all your dreams you shared with me to help children… to help people in need… to promote mutual understanding among people… to help the environment and animals… will come true one day…

In tennis without mistakes we cannot get better… and what is happening to all of us is a challenging experience and I do hope we will learn something from it…

Although I might not have pleasure to meet most of the 26h generation players in person my wish is to welcome each child that passed the selection process to become part of the Smrikva Bowl family…

By receiving this acceptance letter I am pleased to nominate each 26th Smrikva Bowl generation child the Smrikva Bowl Ambassador of this second very special year when Smrikva Bowl was not celebrated due to pandemic…

Before pandemic we usually gathered always 100+ candidates representing on average over 40 countries and six continents… for this year we reduced the draws in order to increase our possibilities of gathering to maximum 64 players… and there were so many super brave candidates representing 35+ countries and 5 continents who passed the selection process…

I wish to share with you all that over 47% of the children of this generation are speaking 3 or more languages… about 44% play a music instrument… over 50% are ranked #1 in their area of origin… and we get to 80% of the players being among the top 3 players…

All the children are great at school… and most of them practice another or more sports…

Over the years… in the tennis world… among the world greatest coaches… Smrikva Bowl children built the Smrikva Bowl reputation… and this is all that we have… just the words of those who lived Smrikva Bowl before your year… it took us 25 generations to build it… and I wish to rely on 26th generation that the circle will not break and will continue…

Although I will not be able to see you compete on Smrikva Bowl I am pleased to let you know that I will be pleased if you use among your achievements that you were selected for this year Smrikva Bowl edition…

Your child name will be listed among 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 generation selected players… and I will publish the list of the accepted candidates, as per tradition, on the day when we have scheduled the opening ceremony of the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021… on 21st of June…

… and I can assure each of you that from what you shared with me, if you keep nurturing your dreams, you all have great chances to realize them in years to come…

There will be an old olive tree in Smrikve dedicated to the 26th generation and I do hope that some of you during your lifetime may have the opportunity to visit your tree…

It was a difficult decision to take… I had hopes in scientific community… I was happy when vaccine was discovered… but I learned, as we all are learning, that we will need a little bit more time to win this War…

We had several lock downs world wide over the last year and because of the lock downs the spread of the virus was contained… at the same time we still have limited number of people which are immune to the virus… and the vaccine started to be applied 4 months ago with production capacities which are insufficient for our current world needs… for this reason the available supply of the vaccine is insufficient to create safe environment we need… and the combination of the above two elements is producing the current third wave we are living in many countries world wide…

We all know that thanks to scientists we will win this battle… but the battle will not be over this summer…

The Spanish flu lasted for more than 2 years and had 4 waves… and if there will be no new surprises I do hope that already by the end of this year the situation will be much better in many countries and that during 2022 we may expect the pandemic to be declared over… but I also learned that every forecast we make can change and so far have changed in worst for so many time so far, I do hope that it may change for better in the future…

I am sorry that this generation will not have the opportunity to experience the Smrikva Bowl MORE THAN TENNIS element… I never wished to explain in detail what is our more than tennis all about… and I always let this element be lived by each Smrikva Bowl child on its own… but I wish to thanks the past Smrikva Bowl players who shared part of our story with you and passed a part of the Smrikva message to you…

Last year we were hit with the pandemic first wave and the 25th edition was canceled… as per tradition on 21.9.2020 during the Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors day… the new presentation with requirements for the 26th edition was published… I asked each of you not to submit the candidacy material before 1st of January 2021… because in September the situation was still bad… but I had hope that situation will get better…

When the vaccine discovery was announced I had a big hope that we will be able to meet… but unfortunately there were surprises for all of us and the world conditions are still not good…

We had our traditional and unique Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Weeks scheduled for the end of April… for years we’ve been doing this special learning experience week in spring for the selected Smrikva Bowl players and families… and selected alumni for this year classes were from 3 continents and 10 different countries… at the end of January we took decision to move our classes to Spring 2022 because the world safety situation was envisaged to be insufficient to travel and gather for the end of April…

My hope in faster recovery started to vanish a bit after delays in vaccine supply started to be announced… and Governments in EU started to reschedule vaccination plans… at the moment is clear that in many countries the process will be much longer than expected and all those countries with insufficient vaccine will continue to apply some kind of restrictive measures…

Sharing and exchanging periodically my thoughts about possible Smrikva Bowl execution with our medical staff in Pula, which for years attend Smrikva Bowl as our staff members, and know well what type of event we do organize, in our most recent discussions all of them confirmed to me that this summer we will be still far away from having possibilities to organize gathering like our Smrikva Bowl is.

Our selection process was closed on 30th of March… and till the last I kept thinking of possible scenarios but deterioration of the situation in Europe do not leave us any choice… I am glad that I did not give up from the selection process and hoped till the end… I was pleased to get to know you… all of the candidacies that I received arrived from very brave families and this mean that is very likely that the children will be very brave too…

I was very pleased to learn about your children and your families via selection process… and I wish to share again that this year generation is a great generation… both girls and boys are very brave…
I am deeply sorry that the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 generation birthday party will not take place…

As Smrikva Bowl accepted player and as Smrikva Bowl Ambassador you will have your dedicated olive tree living in Smrikve… you will have the possibility to visit us with your family for tennis holidays… you will have the possibility to present your candidacy for our unique Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Weeks program… you will be eligible to support the Smrikva Bowl candidates in the future… you are welcomed to use in your curriculum that you were selected player for the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 edition… and in 15-20 years from now I would be pleased if you visit us with your family for the Million plus Smrikva Bowl Family Week program…

Go for your dreams… and remember Smrikva Bowl is just a little step… you passed the selection process… and do not be sad but keep preparing for new challenges and new tournaments because soon the pandemic will finish and the World will connect again…

Best wishes to all the family,

Miodrag Bozovic

Na žalost ni 26.-ti Smrikva Bowl 2021 se neće moći održati zbog trajanja svjetske pandemije

Prije pandemije obično smo okupljali uvijek više od 100 kandidata koji su u prosjeku predstavljali preko 40 zemalja i šest kontinenata … za ovu smo godinu smanjili broj mjesta kako bi povećali šanse da se možda okupimo i smanjili smo ždrijebove na maksimalno 64 igrača … i ponovno je odaziv bio jako velik… bilo je jako puno super hrabrih i talentiranih kandidata koji su prošli selekciju unatoč danas zatvorenom svijetu i predstavljaju 35+ zemalja i 5 kontinenata …

Tijekom Smrikva Bowl-a uvijek smo svi zajedno … roditelji, djeca, treneri i naših 50 članova Staff-a … i u našim posljednjim uputama na javnom okupljanju trenutno je dozvoljeno prisustvo od najviše 25 ljudi, a u nekim Županijama je i to smanjeno… a naše predviđeno i umanjeno okupljanje bi ove godine brojilo cirka 300 osoba…

U nastavku dijelim pismo napisano kandidatima koji su prošli selekciju 26.tog Smrikva Bowl-a…

Draga 26.-ta Smrikva Bowl 2021. generacija,

Drago mi je potvrditi vam da je vaše dijete uspješno završilo proces selekcije za ovogodišnju Smrikvu te da je odabrano da bude dio 26.-e Smrikva Bowl 2021. generacije…

Istodobno mi je žao što vas obavještavam da smo, nakon pažljivih razmatranja evolucije pandemije, odlučili da ovog ljeta neće biti minimalnih sigurnosnih uvjeta koji su potrebni za proslavu generacije Smrikva Bowl-a rođene 2011. godine …

Ovo mi je drugo vrlo teško pismo o primanju na Smrikvu koje pišem u našoj 25-godišnjoj povijesti … ova pandemija je poput jednog svjetskog sukoba i još uvijek traje… i nažalost neće završiti prije ljeta kao što sam se nadao…

Od svog osnutka Smrikva Bowl je zamišljen kao jedna dječja rođendanska proslava koja traje danima… a trenutna situacija ne dopušta da se okupljamo ni slavimo …

Imao sam nadu nakon što je otkriveno cjepivo da će ovaj prvi svjetski rat 21. stoljeća biti blizu svog kraja već ovog proljeća i da smo do ljeta imali dobre šanse za povratak u normalan život u Evropi … ali sporost postupka cijepljenja čini da se i znanstvenici slažu da još uvijek treba biti strpljiv i da će ovaj rat biti uskoro gotov, ali ne toliko brzo koliko mi svi želimo…

Mali broj ljudi na svijetu ima imunitet, a vlasti u većini dijelova svijeta i dalje zabranjuju javna okupljanja …

Žao mi je što i 2011.-ta, kao i generacija Smrikva Bowl iz 2010.-te, neće imati uspomene na Smrikva Bowl, ali pamtit će Smrikva Bowl po jednoj složenoj situaciji u kojoj je čovječanstvo živjelo od kraja 2019. godine…

Bila mi je čast učiti o vašoj djeci… i želim podijeliti s vama da je nivo nadarenosti kandidata koji su prošli ovogodišnju selekciju Smrikva Bowl-a vrlo visok… i po svim vrijednostima koji se za Smrikvu gledaju je u skladu s najboljim generacijama Smrikve…

Impresionirala me strast koju su vaša djeca i vaše obitelji ulagali u razvoj svojih talenata unatoč pandemiji… i nakon što se ova kriza završi siguran sam da će vaša djeca zasjati na svjetskoj pozornici… i sa zadovoljstvom ću ih pratiti. ..

Jedina poveznica i veza koju smo do sada imali su mailovi razmjenjeni proteklih mjeseci s onima koji su započeli proces kandidiranja na početku siječnja… imamo zajedničke prijatelje koji su nas povezali, naše ambasadore Smrikva Bowl-a koji su podržali kandidature vaše djece … drago mi je da od neke djece ove generacije poznajem trenere jer mi je njihova vještina da pomognu u razvoju teniskog talenta poznata već godinama… a sa vrlo malo obitelji sam imao i osobno čast se upoznati, jer su neki od vas braća i sestre bivših igrača Smrikva Bowl-a …

U nastavku želim podijeliti ono što dijelim s djecom tijekom njihove orijentacije i završne registracije… kada ih upoznajem kako izgleda tjedan Smrikva Bowl-a… budući da svatko od vas može vizualizirati svoje snove… naučio sam to čitajući vaša pisma o čemu sanjate… i u dostavljenim kandidaturama ste dokazali da ste djeca Smrikva Bowl-a… želim podijeliti ono što će nam nedostajati da proživimo zajedno …

Neću biti u mogućnosti razgovarati s vašom djecom i osobno ih upoznati u subotu 19. i nedjelju 20. lipnja kada obično živimo trenutak završne registracije i orijentacije sa djecom Smrikva Bowl-a …

To je trenutak kada imam prilike vidjeti vaše knjige koje ste donijeli na poklon knjižnici Smrikva Bowl–a i razmijeniti nekoliko riječi i osmijeha sa svakim od vas… objasniti vam tjedan Smrikva Bowl-a o kojem su brojni od vas sanjali i pripremali se godinama zahvaljujući pričama onih koji su vam Smrikva Bowl predstavili… i žao mi je što vas neću moći zamoliti da zaokružite u završnom prijavnom obrascu snove za koje bi željeli igrati u životu… i osobno poduprijeti vaše snove …

To je i trenutak kada imam priliku da vam poklonim neke od prvih poklona Smrikva Bowl-a … i svaki taj dar ima svoju simboličku priču za koju znam da vam može pomoći i koja može nadahnuti izgradnju vašeg razvojnog puta … i nedostajat će mi osmijeh u očima kad vam pokažem svaki predmet koji vam tradicionalno postaje prvi poklon …

Neću biti u mogućnosti predstaviti svako dijete Smrikve u ponedjeljak, 21. lipnja, u 8:30 tijekom naše ceremonije otvaranja… kada vas obično zamolim da donesete svoje putovnice, putovnice za Smrikvu su vaši teniski reketi, i kada volim podijeliti u samo nekoliko riječi snove svakog od vas sa cijelom generacijom i prisjetiti se Ambasadora koji su podržali vaše kandidature …

Otvaranje je uvijek nadahnuto glazbom za koju su potrebni mjeseci i mjeseci za njen odabir… svaka odabrana pjesma nosi neku poruku s idejom da vas dodatno nadahne da ostvarite vaše snove … i da ne odustajete od njih…

Neću uspjeti okupiti čitavu generaciju tijekom najvažnijeg trenutka Smrikva Bowl-a … koji je bio predviđen za 22. lipnja u 18:00 sati… kad mi je zadovoljstvo predstaviti svaku knjigu poklonjenu knjižnici Smrikva Bowl-a… i nominirati svakog igrača Ambasadorom Smrikve u nekoliko zemalja za koje je slučaj da ste obiteljski ili svojim življenjem povezani dajući vam mandat koji vrijedi za cijeli svijet …

Žao mi je što neću moći podijeliti s djecom uvijek čaroban Ambasadorski poklon paket… u kojem uvijek ima puno divnih poklona… a i jedan poseban koji svakome omogućuje da napravi svoju osobnu Grand Slam želju dok polaže grudu zemlje kraj masline… generacije godinama dijele svoju želju sa svojim maslinama kad daruju svoja imena svojoj maslini generacije…

27 igrača Smrikva Bowl-a osvojilo je 33 juniorske Grand Slam titule i 1 seniorski Grand Slam naslov… a ima ih puno više koji su se natjecali na Grand Slamovima … i iskreno vjerujem da će i mnogi od vas zaigrati Grand Slam turnire jer ste brojni baš to naveli među vašim snovima u pismima…

Nećemo biti u mogućnosti proslaviti taj trenutak imenovanja Ambasadorom Smrikve sa tradicionalnim sladoledom koji imamo na Smrikvi od 2004.godine zahvaljujući obitelji Donne Vekić… uvijek je sladoled taj koji zapečati dječijim osmijehom naš svečani trenutak postajanja Ambasadorom…

Neću vam moći pokloniti da ponesete kući čarobnu bocu jednog od najposebnijih maslinovih ulja na svijetu sa stabala koje su sadile generacije prije vas… i da poklonim vašoj obitelji kolekcijsku bocu vina koje radimo u Smrikvama…

Neću biti u mogućnosti s obitelji podijeliti odgovore na pitanja koje obično podijelim tijekom Smrikva Bowl Foruma o razvoju talenta koji je bio na programu za 23. lipnja u 18:00 sati… tada obično podijelim koliko ova generacija trenira i odgovorim na brojna zanimljiva pitanja koje roditelji obično imaju u ovoj dobi za svoju talentiranu djecu… kako bi povećali šanse za postizanje svojih snova kroz vrijeme…

Neću biti u stanju osobno naučiti svakog od vas i pokloniti vam da ponesete sa sobom kući „IGRA“ igru, veselu igru parova, koju su generacije Smrikva Bowl igrača počele voljeti i širiti po svijetu… zabavno je igrati uz glazbu i uz novog prijatelja… “IGRA” uvijek započinje u srijedu navečer nakon našeg Foruma o razvoju talenata …

Neću moći podijeliti svakom djetetu poklon „sretnog ždrijeba“… magičan trenutak koji je već tradicionalno u našem rasporedu u četvrtak u 16:00 sati… i neću moći osobno ispričati brojne nadahnjujuće priče bivših igrača Smrikva Bowl-a… i zavrtiti još jedan teniski krug života… trenutak kada svaki igrač Smrikve osvoji za ponijeti kući potpisani predmet od strane nekog bivšeg igrača Smrikva Bowl-a …

Neću vas moći povesti u petak u posjet Brijonskim otocima… pokazati vam da vidite taj prirodni raj… u kojem su dinosauri živjeli prije puno milijuna godina… jedno čarobno mjesto s dugom i impresivnom povijesnom baštinom. .. mjesto koje je Robert Koch izliječio od malarije prije više od jednog stoljeća …
Žao mi je što nećete imati priliku svakoga dana uživati u besplatnim sendvičima koje vam kartica igrača Smrikve omogućuje tijekom cijelog trajanja Smrikve… onaj osjećaj rođendana koji traje tjedan dana… za što su i naši sendviči od prve Smrikve zaslužni… i poseban pizza party u petak navečer uz polufinale i finale “IGRE” veselih parova … uz laganu glazbu koja se obično širi iz parka Smrikvi… pod zvijezdama ugodne ljetne večeri…

Nećemo proživjeti zajedno još jedno finale sa sakupljačima loptica… nećemo živijeti zajedno trenutak ceremonije dodjele nagrada… zapljeskati pobjedničkom krugu bicikle po terenu… trenutak kada pobjednici potpisuju slavnu US OPEN Wilson veliku loptu koja dolazi iz New York-a… takvu je u svoje vrijeme Dominic Thiem potpisao uz želju da jednoga dana podigne najveći pehar US OPEN-a i prošle godine je to i učinio… nećemo proslaviti i zapljeskati onima koji će otići u Akademiju kod Patrika Mouratoglou-a kao što nećeno zapljeskati osvajačima međunarodnog Wilson ugovora…

Nećemo proživjeti trenutak torte… i zajedničkog slavlja u bazenu gdje proslavljamo mnoga nova prijateljstva stečena tijekom tjedna …

Jako mi je žao zbog svega navedenoga što nećemo proživjeti zajedno …

U svim gore navedenim trenucima tijekom Smrikva Bowl-a uvijek smo svi zajedno … roditelji, djeca, treneri i naših 50 članova Staff-a … i u našim posljednjim uputama na javnom okupljanju trenutno je dozvoljeno prisustvo od najviše 25 ljudi, a u nekim Županijama je i to smanjeno… a naše predviđeno i umanjeno okupljanje bi ove godine brojilo cirka 300 osoba…

Misija Smrikva Bowl-a je nadahnuti, razvijati i širiti kozmopolitske vrijednosti. Ljubav, prijateljstvo i empatija su primarne kozmopolitske vrijednosti za ljude i čovječanstvo … i uvijek sanjam da se djeca Smrikva Bowl-a jednog dana mogu razviti u mirotvorce … a njihovi reketi i vještine da mogu postati instrument mira i instrumenti za poticanje međusobnog razumijevanja među ljudima i narodima…

Kultura, djeca, sport i glazba dio su moje ideje bezgraničnog svijeta Smrikva Bowl-a … svaki od navedena četiri elementa koja sam davno birao kao dio svoje vizije kozmopolitskog svijeta koji mogu spajati ljude … svi su oni izabrani jer vrlo lako nadilaze postojeće ljudske granice … i svaka od ta četiri elementa smatram stupovima mira … i istina je da se tijekom posljednje godine svijet o kojem sanjam trese, ali siguran sam da će ova pandemija završiti i mirna i sigurna putovanja će se vratiti …

Tenisači su, uz još samo par drugih profesija, prvi građani svijeta današnjice… i dobra vijest je da su ponovno krenuli putovati svijetom, danas igraju uglavnom u velikim stadionima bez gledatelja… a kada stadioni budu puni ljudi to će biti znak da je pandemija gotova…

Nadam se da će se svi vaši snovi koje ste podijelili sa mnom, da želite pomagati djeci… pomagati ljudima kojima je pomoć potrebna… da podržite istraživanja koja mogu liječiti bolesti za koje lijeka nema… pridonositi očuvanju okoliša i zalagati se za bolji život životinja… da sve to neće biti zaboravljeno kada ova nepogoda prođe… i da će više vas možda posvetiti svoj život da se na tim poljima nešto lijepoga učini…

U tenisu bez grešaka ne možemo postati bolji … a ono što nas je zadesilo je izazovno iskustvo i nadam se da ćemo svi naučiti iz toga…

Iako možda neću imati zadovoljstvo osobno upoznati većinu igrača 26. generacije Smrikve, moja je želja da svako djete koje je prošlo proces selekcije ovogodišnje Smrikve postane i dio velike obitelji Smrikva Bowl-a …

Primanjem ovog potvrdnog pisma o primitku na Smrikvu koja se ponovno neće odigrati zbog više sile… želja mi je imenovati svako dijete ovogodišnje generacije Smrikva Bowl-a Ambasadorom Smrikve…

Prije pandemije obično smo okupljali uvijek više od 100 kandidata koji su u prosjeku predstavljali preko 40 zemalja i šest kontinenata … za ovu smo godinu smanjili broj mjesta kako bi povećali šanse da se možda okupimo i smanjili smo ždrijebove na maksimalno 64 igrača … i ponovno je odaziv bio jako velik… bilo je jako puno super hrabrih i talentiranih kandidata koji su prošli selekciju unatoč danas zatvorenom svijetu i predstavljaju 35+ zemalja i 5 kontinenata …

Rado dijelim sa vama da su djeca Smrikve uvijek bila posebno marljiva… pa tako i ova generacija… više od 47% djece generacije govori 3 ili više jezika… oko 44% djece svira muzički instrument… preko 50% je najbolje u mjestu u kojem razvija svoj talenat… i dolazimo do 80% igrača koji su među prva 3 igrača u svojoj zemlji…

Sva djeca su sjajna u školi … i većina ih se bavi još nekim ili sa više sportova …

Kroz godine… u svijetu tenisa… čak i među najvećim svjetskim trenerima prevladava mišljenje da su djeca Smrikve posebna djeca… i istina je da su djeca Smrikve kroz svoje rezultate izgradila takvu reputaciju… trebalo je 25 generacija da sa polako izgradi to povjerenje… i želim dati moje povjerenje 26.-oj generaciji da će se to nastaviti…

Iako vas neću moći vidjeti kako se natječete na Smrikva Bowl-u… moja je želja da koristite među svojim dostignućima da ste bili izabrani za ovogodišnji Smrikva Bowl…

Ime vašeg djeteta biti će upisano među igračima koji su bili odabrani za 26.ti Smrikva Bowl 2021… a ja ću objaviti listu primljenih kandidata kao što to radimo po tradiciji na dan kada je bilo predviđeno svečano otvaranje 26. Smrikva Bowl 2021 … 21. lipnja 2021 godine…

… i mogu svakome reći da snove koje ste podijelili samnom, ukoliko ih nastavite njegovati i posvećivati im se, iz onoga što sam vidio, velike su šanse da će se oni i ostvariti u godinama koje dolaze …

U Smrikvama će rasti jedna stara maslina posvećena 26.-oj generaciji i nadam se da će više vas tijekom života imati priliku posjetiti maslinu i posjetiti mjesto na kojem ste trebali igrati vašu Smrikvu…

Bila je ovo teška odluka … nadao sam se u znanstvenu zajednicu … bio sam sretan kada je cjepivo otkriveno … ali sam naučio, kao što svi već primjećujemo, da će nam trebati malo više vremena za pobjedu u ovoj borbi …

Tijekom posljednje godine imali smo nekoliko zaključavanja širom svijeta, a zbog zaključavanja i širenje virusa je bilo kontrolirano … u isto vrijeme još uvijek imamo ograničen broj ljudi koji su imuni na virus … i cjepivo se počelo primjenjivati prije 4 mjeseca s proizvodnim kapacitetima koji su nedovoljni za naše trenutne svjetske potrebe … iz tog razloga dostupna opskrba cjepivom nije dovoljna da stvori sigurno okruženje koje nam treba za Smrikvu … a kombinacija gornja dva elementa nam pokazuje koliko smo i dalje ranjivi kroz trenutni treći val koji živimo u mnogim zemljama širom svijeta …

Osjećam da ćemo zahvaljujući znanstvenicima dobiti ovu bitku … ali bitka neće biti gotova do ovog ljeta …

Španjolska gripa trajala je više od 2 godine i imala je 4 vala … i ako neće biti novih iznenađenja, nadam se da će već do kraja ove godine situacija biti puno bolja u mnogim zemljama i da ćemo tijekom 2022. godine čuti da je pandemija proglašena gotovom … ali također sam svjestan da se svaka prognoza koju napravimo može promijeniti, a do sada se uglavnom mijenjala na gore, pa po zakonu velikih brojeva se nadam da će se u budućnosti možda promijeniti i na bolje …

Žao mi je što ova generacija neće imati priliku iskusiti ono nešte VIŠE OD TENISA što čini Smrikvu Smrikvom … nikada nisam želio detaljno objasniti što je to više od tenisa … i uvijek sam pustio da se taj element živi… i da ga svako dijete Smrikva Bowl-a na svoj način osjeti … ali želim zahvaliti prošlim generacijama Smrikva Bowl-a koji su sa vama podijelili dio naše priče i proslijedili vam dio poruke Smrikve …

Prošle godine pogodio nas je prvi val pandemije i 25. izdanje je otkazano … a po tradiciji 21.9.2020 za vrijeme dana Ambasadora Smrikve … objavljena je nova prezentacija sa detaljima za 26. izdanje … zamolio sam tada svakoga od vas da ne predaje materijal za kandidaturu prije 1. siječnja 2021 … jer je u rujnu situacija još uvijek bila dosta loša … ali imao sam i tada nadu da će se situacija popraviti …

Kad je objavljeno otkriće cjepiva, imao sam veliku nadu da ćemo se moći sastati … ali nažalost bilo je iznenađenja za sve nas, i uvijeti u svijetu, i posebno u EU, još uvijek nisu dobri za proslave kao što je Smrikva…

Tradicionalni i jedinstveni obiteljski tjedni Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Week bio je predviđen za kraj travnja … i već godinama radimo ovaj posebni tjedan učenja kroz druženje tijekom proljeća za odabrane igrače i obitelji Smrikva Bowl-a … potvrđeni polaznici ovogodišnjih razreda bili su sa 3 kontinenta i 10 različitih zemalja … i već krajem siječnja smo donijeli odluku da nastavu premjestimo na proljeće 2022. jer smo očekivali da svjetska situacija neće biti dobra za putovanje i okupljanje do kraja travnja iz toliko različitih zemalja…

Moja nada u brži oporavak počela je pomalo blijediti nakon što su počele najave kašnjenja u opskrbi sa cjepivom …sve vlade u EU počele su reprogramirati planove cijepljenja … u ovom trenutku je jasno da će u mnogim zemljama taj proces biti mnogo duži od planiranog i sve one zemlje s nedovoljnim cjepivom nastavit će primjenjivati neke vrste restriktivnih mjera koje i trenutno živimo…

Dijeleći i često razmjenjujući svoja razmišljanja o održavanju Smrikva Bowl-a s našim medicinskim osobljem u Puli, koje godinama pohodi Smrikvu kao članovi Staff-a, i dobro znaju koju vrstu događaja organiziramo, u zadnjim raspravama su mi svi potvrdili da ćemo na žalost po njihovim procjenama ovog ljeta još uvijek biti daleko od mogućnosti organiziranja okupljanja kao što je naša Smrikva.

Naš postupak selekcije zatvoren je 30. ožujka … i do zadnjeg trenutka sam razmišljao o mogućim scenarijima, ali pogoršanje situacije u Europi ne ostavlja nam izbora … drago mi je da nisam odustao od procesa selekcije i nadao se do kraja … sve kandidature koje sam primio stigle su iz vrlo hrabrih obitelji, a to znači da će vrlo vjerojatno i njihova djeca biti vrlo hrabra .. .

Bilo mi je drago saznati više o vašoj djeci i vašim obiteljima kroz postupak odabira … i želim još jednom podijeliti kako je ovogodišnja generacija još jedna sjajna i hrabra generacija … i djevojčice i dječaci su vrlo hrabri … i drago mi je da ih odgajate da budu hrabri…

Uzimajući u obzir sve navedeno žao mi je što se 26. generacija Smrikva Bowl 2021 neće moći okupiti za svoj Smrikva Bowl …

Kao dijete koje je prošlo selekciju Smrikva Bowl-a i kao Ambasador Smrikva Bowl-a imati će svoje posvećeno stablo masline u Smrikvama … biti će dobro došli u Smrikve na teniski odmor… imati će mogućnost kandidiranja za obiteljski tjedan Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Week… moći će podržati kandidate za Smrikva Bowl u budućnosti… moći ćete na svoju listu dostignuća upisati da ste izabrani za 26. izdanje Smrikva Bowl 2021… i za 15-20 godina bi mi bilo drago da me posjetite sa svojom obitelji za program Milijun plus Smrikva Bowl Family Week …

Vrijedno naprijed za svojim snovima! … Smrikva Bowl je jedan mali korak … na pravome ste putu … ne budite tužni, već se nastavite pripremati za nove izazove i turnire jer će uskoro pandemija završiti i svijet će se ponovno povezati …

Sve najljepše cijeloj obitelji,

Miodrag Božović

Smrikva Bowl Mission like a Dream...

Not many years from now there will be much more Smrikva Bowl players among professional players… as of March 25th 2021: 51 players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking… 26 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking… 8 players reached TOP 20 ATP/WTA… 2 players reached TOP 5 ATP/WTA ranking…

Their track record includes: 33 junior GRAND SLAM titles, 1 Grand Slam and 49 professional ATP/WTA titles…

There will be much more Smrikva Bowl players that thanks to their racket skills will got the scholarship to play in the prestige Universities all around the World… so far 230+ players got scholarship to study play tennis in the US…

… and there will be much more who will graduate all around the World…

Smrikva Bowl dream is that may they all stand together for something “MORE THAN TENNIS”…

“If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.”

Smrikva Bowl mission is to inspire, develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…

CULTURE, CHILDREN, SPORT and MUSIC are part of the Smrikva Bowl idea of the cosmopolitan world. It is a matter of civilization …

A wise wind, product of imagination, once whispered… “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” (M.Y.)… and fairy tales seems to help that beauty…

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” (A.E.)…

Usually in tennis game it does not matter what goes wrong but your reaction to it…

Fear and anger are for the brain the same as cramps for the muscles… and as Yoda noted “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”… like in tennis, so similar seems to be life…

---

There are different ways to look at sport. There are different ways to look at music, culture, love and also to children.

The vision of sport preferred in Smrikve can be described and extended to: culture, music and children using the following Nelson Mandela – Madiba’s words:

“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”

Smrikve c Code - brothers in arms

Over 10 years ago I wrote the below section… and if you read it you will find out that I love STAR WARS… and I love to use it in my mental training classes… and some of the past Smrikva Bowl players, today among the best players in their generations, attended with me Yoda’s classes… and they all know that
I admire those who contribute to maintain peace and promote mutual understanding among nations… something what Jedi’s job description could be…

I am also aware that over the last year the world discovered and is living a new experience which is a threat to the World peace and prosperity… and today my Smrikve c Code article is dedicated to the new challenge we are all still living… “may the force be with us”…

Smrikve, October 2010

The Star Wars “Return of the Jedi” is the first film I remember seeing with my dad at the cinema… it was 1983 and I was 10… the cinema was named “Istra”… I was the same age as the Smrikva Bowl players we host every year in Smrikve :)…

In the introduction of this article I would just underline that I like the way Jedi use the lightsabers and I like the way Smrikva Bowl kids use their rackets :)… Smrikve c Code is a story about virtue created by training and wish to learn…

My dad was pilot and for me watching The Star Wars with him at the cinema was a particular experience … I had many questions and he, as usual, with smile and pleasure answered to each of my questions…

Dad used to take me with him on the airport when I was little… and I remember him entering the cockpit of the plane with pilot helmet watching towards me and giving me the sign that he was ready to fly… than he turned on the engine of the plane and watched towards me again with smile in his eyes…

I stayed about 100 meters from the airplane with his colleagues and watched him taking his plane towards runway…

From the place where I stayed only part of the runway was visible because of the wood and he took the plane in the area that was invisible to me to prepare for the takeoff… I was able to hear the force of the engine… and when the sound of the force started to increase I knew that my dad will be visible soon… his colleagues were telling me “be ready soon your dad will come”… and when he started to be visible on the back of the plane there was the fire… almost half length of the airplane had the fire extension formed by his engine and I just noticed his helmet in the cockpit and followed by my kids eyes his airplane reaching the sky…

The Jedi are characters in the Star Wars universe bound to a code of morality and justice and are trained in the use of the light side of the force. They learn to use the Force, and weapons, known as lightsabers, which emits a controlled energy flow in the shape of a sword, to serve and protect their Republic and the galaxy from conflicts or government instability…

Since long time ago I started to note the ability of Smrikva Bowl kids using the racket and thinking at the same time on Jedi’s ability to use the lightsaber :)…

Some of my students use Wilson’s ying & young damper… known as Tao sign… they like the symbol but are still too young to have an idea about it ;)… I will try to use this symbol to help me explain how little the difference could be in forming a balance in anything we do… every action has a reaction in our World… in the first classes of physics we learn Newton’s third law…

Tao is an abstract concept found in Taoism, Confucianism, and more generally in ancient Chinese philosophy and East Asian cultures.

While the word itself translates as “way”, “path”, or “route”… it is often used philosophically to signify the fundamental nature of the World we are used to living on Earth… it is often referred to as “the nameless”, because neither it nor its principles can ever be adequately expressed in words.

While the Tao cannot be expressed, Taoism holds that it can be known, and its principles can be followed. Much of Taoist writing focuses on the value of following the Tao – called Te (virtue) – and of the ultimate uselessness of trying to understand or control Tao outright. This is often expressed through yin and yang arguments, where every action creates a counter-action as a natural, unavoidable movement within manifestations of the Tao.

I used the above short explanation to introduce the Codes used in the Star Wars universe…

As in the Tao symbol there were knights trained to use the dark side of the force and the light side… this is the way how mankind functioned since the human written memory goes back…

For new ideas people have to go beyond… out of the known patterns by using their imagination… the kids are many times Master in this…

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.”… :)

DARK SIDE (The Sith Code)

• Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
• Through passion, I gain strength.
• Through strength, I gain power.
• Through power, I gain victory.
• Through victory, my chains are broken.
• The Force shall free me.

LIGHT SIDE (The Jedi Code)

• There is no emotion, there is peace.
• There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
• There is no passion, there is serenity.
• There is no death, there is the Force.

The Jedi Code was rewritten by Grand Master Luke Skywalker upon reestablishing the Jedi Order:

• Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
• Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
• Jedi respect all life, in any form.
• Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
• Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

Smrikve c code is the code…

…and… just one more thing…

… “La guerra no le hace a uno grandioso.”… ;)

I am pleased to close this article with Dire Straits and their Brothers in Arms song… starting with the sound of the thunder… The concert was made in 1988 to honor Nelson Mandela…

*BROTHERS IN ARMS *

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I’ve whittnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Smrikva Bowl Library story... "books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind..." ;)

26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 generation will be selected in less than 30 days… and today I will be pleased to recall a story that is linked to the books and the title of today… linked to the books but also to our players who bring them to their Smrikva Bowl… :)

…it is the story of heritage… but as written in the title… it is again a story related to the spring via pollen … but this time is a kind of mind pollen… ;)…

James Russell Lowell compared books to the bees and I like it… “books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind…”

In 2009 we started the building of the Smrikva Bowl library. Each Smrikva Bowl player is requested to bring with him a cultural book that will remember his stay in Smrikve and will represent his culture of origin that one day guests of Smrikve will be able to consult, enjoy and discover.

Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors are today spread in 95 countries and all the continents. Historically their task was to search the talented kids in their countries of origin and invite them to play the Smrikva Bowl but from this year they are also our Cultural Ambassadors.

The old olive tree Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors plant every year is a symbol of friendship and intergenerational responsibility and Smrikva Bowl’s idea of children, sport, music and culture that are able to pass all frontiers are incorporated in the creation of this Smrikva Bowl Library.

I used to write in my first book on European Union and Cosmopolitan Democracy that we are those who represent the current civilization.

This is an important concept. Today people live an average of about 80 years. What we call civilization is mostly made up of the human knowledge we have accumulated until today, which our institutions pass onto future generations.

The books represent the greatest human memory that can help us understand what we see combined with cumulated personal experience of our daily lives. But given the fragility of the circle of life it is very easy for people to ignore these facts and lose sight of our human knowledge. It takes just a few generations to lose this great heritage.

We have gotten used to rapid technological progress, but social and civil progress is slower and more complex. Humans learn throughout their whole lifetime, from books and schools, but we also mostly learn from our personal experiences.

Smrikva Bowl mission is to develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…

Thanks in advance to all the 26th Smrikva Bowl 2021 generation players who will help this year with their visit to Smrikve to build another piece of the Smrikva Bowl World library :)
