🏢 About the local organisation
Environment Engineering Group organises this workcamp for the fourth time in the Jazak village on the Fruska Gora Mountain with the goal to support the development of a local NGO named 'Centre for rural development and applied learning' in Jazak, as well as to help promote the village Jazak through innovative ideas of the international volunteers. We believe international workcamp volunteers could motivate the local community, especially young people, to get involved in the social life of the village, giving their contribution to its development.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will help renovate and repair old furniture using modern techniques and then organize a public auction to sell the items for the purpose of collecting money and supporting local struggling families. Volunteers will be clearing the vegetation, constructing and renovating the Centre and creating various types of activities (depending on the volunteers' interest and ideas) for creative animation of the local inhabitants within the Centre.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In the Centre there are 2 rooms with bathrooms, and there is one bungalow with bathroom as well. There is also common room for free time activities and WiFi. Volunteers will prepare meals on their own, with material provided, and with help of a local lady.
