First texts on the Kajkavian dialect originate in the 16th century. Several centuries later, the Kajkavian dialect lost its significance due to the influence of the Stokavian dialect. The renewal of the Kajkavian dialect was experienced in the 21st century when Mario Jembrih founded the Kajkavian Renaissance. The goal of the Kajkavian Renaissance is to preserve Kajkavian dialect, identity, tradition and culture. MeĎimurje’s dialect belongs to the kajkavian dialect, and Vinko Kos, Joţa Horvat and Kristian Novak are homeland writers. All three writers spent their childhood in MeĎimurje, where they also completed elementary education. Vinko Kos has remained remembered as a poet and writer who write works for children. In his poems, he chanted the sad human fate, the beauty of his homeland, his love of country and family. Joţa Horvat is mentioned in the reviews of the history of Croatian literature as a humorous writer, but also as a writer who wrote the first Croatian “jeans prose” novel. Kristian Novak is a contemporary Croatian writer, scientist, athlete and university professor. His literary works Črna mati zemla and Ciganin, ali najljepši were rewarded with Tportal's award for the novel of the year. In Kos, Horvat and Novak's literary works describe region and people of Medjimurje, and some of their works are written in the dialect of MeĎimurje. The paper presents their works as examples of project teaching of homeland writers. Horvat's Children's novel Waitapu was designed as a project lesson in the sixth grade of elementary school. Kos's collection of songs is the subject of project teaching in the eighth grade of elementary school, and Novak's novel Črna mati zemlja in the fourth grade of gymnasium. Pupils would learn language and literature more quickly and simpler if the basis of their knowledge was homeland language and homeland writers. In this way, the pupils would develop love and knowledge first to the homeland language and the writers, then to the regional, national, European and world.
