🏢 About the local organisation

Our aim is to promote sustainable development of society, and to foster cultural and environmental education through youth and adult life long learning and active participation in social processes. Our main tools to achieve this is volunteering and non-formal education Radi Vidi Pats started as an association that works with topics related environmental education for youngsters but slowly and very naturally we have grown into the social sphere as well. Sustainability, alternative and DIY life style is still our fundamentals, and bicycle for many years has been our main tool in communication with the society, especially youngsters. A few years ago we started consciously working with NEET youngsters as socially disadvantaged youngsters have always been attracted to RVP activities. Nevertheless, environmental topics will always be important for the organisation. Five years ago RVP opened a bicycle kitchen – self-service bicycle workshop that also serves as a freak bike creating basis. Another regular activity is up-cycling workshops that RVP facilitates in different parts of the region. For RVP waste is seen as material and sharing this view is an important part of thier work throughout the existence of this NGO. In the Summer of 2017 we moved to a new building that is more opened to different type of activities such as community discussions and learning sessions.

💼 What the programme involves

This volunteering activity aims to boost environmental awareness and encourage active participation among young people in the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia. As part of the ESC program at the International Scout Center Rustavi (ISCR), volunteers work alongside ISCR staff to help organise events and share cultural perspectives with the local community. The project includes a wide range of activities: supporting sustainable educational programs, organising hikes and camps, managing ISCR’s social media platforms, and leading language clubs or creative workshops. Volunteers also contribute to the daily operations of ISCR, taking part in program management, maintenance tasks, and guest services. Another key responsibility is promoting ESC programs and values in local schools, with a special focus on reaching underserved youth who may have fewer opportunities. The expected impact is greater environmental awareness and stronger cross‑cultural understanding among the young people.

🏠 Accommodation on site
