🏢 About the local organisation
JAZAS youth of Pozarevac was founded in 1997. It promotes volunteerism and youth participation, youth health and safety and society development. JAZAS organizes workcamps since 2014. This workcamp is realised in partnership with Tourist Organization of Golubac and Municipality of Golubac and we are continuing last year’s successful work when we renovated local school.
💼 What the programme involves
This year we would like to improve conditions of a village swimming pool, placed in front of the local school building. The volunteers will work on the painting and cleaning of a pool and its surrounding, making bulrush and wooden parasols, making and painting benches and tables. Field work on the Danube coast, exclusively with hand tools, planting trees and landscaping on the shore, setting up fittings. Landscaping along the Dobranska river, flowing from the pool to the Danube in a length of 1 km.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in the school’s gym, with beds with mattresses and sheets (no need to bring). The gym has showers and toilets, but we will have a solar shower as well! The volunteers will prepare the meals with ingredients provided by the host, as there is a fully equipped kitchen in the school. We expect the locals to be eager to join with the typical dishes from Serbia.
📍 About the location
The village Dobra is located in the North-East Serbia, inside the Natural Park Djerdap, about 150km away from Belgrade, 30km from Donji Milanovac and 24km from Golubac and its famous fortress overlooking the Danube, where it is is at its widest and deepest of its entire stretch through Europe. http://www.serbia.com/visit-serbia/cultural-attractions/palaces-and-fortresses/golubac-the-guardian-of-the-danube/
In free time we will get to know the very rich nature of the area; there will be a trip organised to see the Golubac fortress, Trajan’s table and the oldest urban settlement of Europe, called Lepenski vir, dating back to 8.5 millenniums ago to the young Stone Age of Europe. We will organize different workshops, games, traditional dances, sport activities, fishing, ride with a catamaran and we will also be special guests for the Youth Day in Golubac.
⚠️ Requirements
Painting and gardening skills are desirable. Bring both summer clothes and swimming suits; warm clothes for nights can be chill and comfy shoes for hiking in the surrounding. It is necessary to bring sleeping bags!
