EVS project: “Ecology Development Two”

The activities of the 12 volunteers: 05.03 – 05.05.2012, 2 months

The project will provide the participating volunteers with the opportunity to be involved in the activities of our organization with the cooperation of various institutions, in celebrating the international Month of Earth and the World water day through organizing the regional eco festival “Koprinka fair”, which includes: cleaning up the Koprinka dam; various workshops for recycling paper and composting; presentation of ecological, tourist and EVS accredited organizations; showing short eco movies; presentation of extreme sports, scout organizations and yoga; creation of trash-art. A documentary about the event will be shot. The volunteers will play different roles – photographers, screenwriters, writers, artists. Activities for your ears, eyes and other senses are included. The young people will be given the opportunity to realize that they share common values with the youngsters from the other countries through creating works of art together and reflecting in them their own cultural specifics.
