📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The camp is organized by the Voluntary Center UNIVOL based on Tomsk State University. The voluntary activity is a strong tradition among the students of the University. Tomsk is pretty small and cozy city that is considered to be one of the most popular and oldest cities in Western Siberia. Today it is a popular educational, research and innovative center. Tomsk also is a city of springs. There are approximately 1014 springs in the city, but unfortunately, native people underestimate their value. Except one enthusiast who has been preserving the springs by himself for the last 50 years. 2017 is also a year of Ecology in Russia. That s why this work camp and presence of international volunteers is important for dragging attention to the environment and ecological problems of our city.
💼 What the programme involves
The main task for us is to make the territory of the University Lake pleasant and beautiful so Tomsk citizens and students would like to spend time there, walking and appreciating the view. During the camp volunteers will help with cleaning and maintaining the springs system and the Lake territory. Volunteers will also help with painting and setting tables and benches. The important part of the work camp will consist of filming video diaries and tell stories about volunteers experience on the work camp to promote the importance of voluntary work, springs and environment in general.Volunteers also can prepare some educational activities about voluntary work for the volunteer of our Center UNIVOL (games, workshops, movie discussions, sharing your personal volunteering experience)
