About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The activities will take place in "Eko centar Latinovac" in a small village in Croatia. We will host 11 participants to work on sustainable and rural development, community building, promotion of volunteerism and multiculturalism. During this period we will focus on organization of activities at local events. This will include preparing and participating in the activities for local community. Besides that participants will help in the maintenance of our property, gardening, helping in the kitchen, helping people in the local community and renovating old school in the village. Participants will experience living and working in a community, rural lifestyle, sustainable practices, vegetarian cuisine and a lifestyle less affected by global challenges. Working time is 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, although the schedule can change depending on the weather.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Participants will be accommodated in the village with the local hosts and share a room, toilet and shower, but also some volunteers will be accommodated in the property of Eko centar Latinovac. During the working days, our chef will prepare three vegetarian meals for the group. During the free days participants will receive 7€ per day for food and will have a shared kitchen. Participants will get pocket money in the amount of 10€ per day. Transport costs will be reimbursed after the arrival and up to the limit, depending on the distance. It will be discussed before arrival.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants can expect daily supervision in all activities; for more complex tasks, participants will have theoretical and demonstrational training and management. During the project activities participants will have mentor support through group and individual meetings. Participants are welcome to share their skill sets.

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).
