🏢 About the local organisation

Mission of the organization "Pokret Gorana Vojvodine" is to create ambient for active and responsible participation of communities in sustainable development through education, activism, promotion, advocating and cooperation on all levels. The main topics that are in our focus are: protection of the environment as well as development of youth, kids and volunteerism. "PGV" rules youth center "Ekološki centar Radulovački" (Ecological center Radulovacki), the object that uses sustainable sources of energy and has the quality label "European youth center", assigned by "European Council". "PGV" is full member of "NAPOR" and "South East European Youth Network". Young Researchers of Serbia (YRS) was founded in 1976. Our main aims are environmental protection and education, promotion of sustainable development, work with young people in an international context, promotion of scientific creativity and voluntarism and its values. Voluntary Service of Serbia is a volunteer exchange service center founded in 1990 as one of the sectors of YRS.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will have to do several activities in order to make festival possible. Firstly, they will arrange the necessary space (collecting and taking away of trash and cleaning the area-mowing and removing the branches, making the terrain plain). Then they will prepare the materials for the workshops (design and paint banners, create and organize "Photo-area", help in making stage props for the battle arena, decorate the place). They will also assist to the organizers of workshops (the art of sculpture, heraldic, medieval board games). There is even a possibility that they lead the workshop, but that depends on their previous experience. The participants will also do some logistical work-informing and directing the visitors, promotion in the town center. At the end, their task will be, also, to remove the materials after the manifestation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in the rooms of the "Eco center Radulovacki", where are the rooms with beds and linen. The facility also has bathrooms, as well as space for the work and free time. Volunteers will have lunch in the nearby restaurant, and breakfast as well as dinner will be prepared by themselves with the food that will be provided.

📍 About the location

The town of Sremski Karlovci is located in Vojvodina (northern part of Serbia), between Fruska gora (Fruska mountain) and the Danube river. It is one of the most important centers of Serbian history and culture. In it there are-First Serbian Grammar school (high school), First school for the priests, Chapel of Peace (where the famous Treaty of Karlowitz between European forces and Ottoman empire was signed 1699.), as well as many churches and monuments. Beside mentioned natural pearls of Fruska gora and Danube, there are also "Koviljsko-Petrovaradinski rit" (internationally protected swamp area for the birds), parc "The Court Garden", and "Stražilovo" picnic area. Everything above (and much more) offers great opportunity for exploration.
