📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Association for Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development Sunce is a non-profit organisation committed to the protection of nature and environment in Croatia. Our aim is conservation of nature and environment as fundamental values of society, and acceptable management of natural resources by application of sustainable development. Croatian citizens are our target groups, because we protect the interests and the public's right to healthy environment and create solutions to conservation and rational use of natural resources. All of the activities and projects are based on two programmes: The Nature Conservation Programme and The Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Programme. Main areas of our work are protected areas and Natura 2000 management, sustainable tourism, sustainable fisheries and waste management. We advocate for public participation, educate and inform the public in order to change values and behavior, we implement research in order to create background and guidance for protection measures and more effective action, we uphold responsible management based on the sustainable development.
💼 What the programme involves
"Solidarity for Green Dalmatia 2024" will bring together 3 long-term volunteers to Split and engage them in 4 activities connected with environment protection and sustainable development, during 12 months:
1. Organising and implementing educational activities on the topic of nature conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development to bring positive changes to the community;
2. Encouraging active involvement through development of communication materials, their dissemination and work on social networks;
3. Uniting the local community through organisation of public green events (exhibitions, public celebrations, bicycle tours etc.);
4. Further greening Sunce’s project and programme activities based on research of the best available environmental practices and the promotion of results.
The aim is to change and increase the level of environmentally responsible behaviour and encourage target groups for active participation in environmental protection.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is provided in the flat in Split, together with other 2 volunteers. Flat is equipped with the kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms and balcony. Two volunteers will be in big shared bedroom and one volunteer will be in solo bedroom. Sunce already has signed agreement with the flat owner and Sunce is fully covering all expenses. The flat is close to the city centre and Association Sunce's office - a 20-minute walk.
Participants will receive 196,50 EUR per month to buy and prepare own food or to eat in a local restaurant plus 183,50 EUR monthly pocket money (380 EUR all together).
🎒 Leisure activities
Shortly after arrival, volunteers are required to participate in the on-arrival training organized by the National Agency. The goal of the training is to provide a detailed introduction to the program, the rights and responsibilities of the volunteers and the host organization, as well as expectations and monitoring of competency development. In the middle of the volunteering period, there is the mid-term training, where volunteers exchange experiences and can discuss potential issues, as well as prepare for their departure.
In the meantime, volunteers can join Sunce trainings if interested.
