About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

ADRA Croatia, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency is a humanitarian organization active in Croatia since 1989 and part of the wider international ADRA network. ADRA mainly works in emergency response and disaster preparedness, poverty reduction and non-formal education of children and young people. In its emergency response sector, ADRA has been active in the Sisak-Moslavina county after the earthquakes of 2020, through building and renovating houses of the affected population. Throughout 2021 and 2022 it has been organizing non-formal education activities for children in the area of Petrinja and Glina. ADRA also has a volunteer centre in Donja Mlinoga (near Petrinja) which will serve as a central hub for activities in this area. Other activities include the distribution of food and non-food items to those in need (all areas of Croatia), promotion of health as well as creative and language workshops for refugees from the Ukraine.

💼 What the programme involves

Banovanija 2024 - Summer children games this year will have its 4th season. Children in rural areas of Glina town during school summer break have no social programs to engage in. This area is one of the poorest in the country, and its citizens have recently endured the hard struggle, which was devastating earthquake in 2020 that devasted their homes and livelihood. Because children in the rural area of Glina have few opportunites to spend time with their peers during the school summer break, Banovanija 2024 Summer children games were created to provide children opportunity to develop social skills, create friendships, receive mentorship and enjoy their youth despite the struggles of general poverty and consequences of the earthquake.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
