💼 What the programme involves
Our volunteers will work in one of Turkey's most modern and culturally rich villages. There are theater, library, social areas and many village works in this village. Volunteers, who will be able to do everything in line with the needs of the village, will mainly work for the preparation of the traditional sea festival organized by the villagers every year. Every year this festival is held in Azmak Bay. Villagers organize this festival on their own and with support from various organizations. Concerts are given at the festival, foods are distributed, water games and beach games are played, competitions are organized, and village youth display their skills. Our volunteers will take part in both the preparation and organization of the festival. Likewise, they will also be able to work in the natural agricultural works of the agricultural development cooperative.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Like every year, volunteers will stay with the hospitable and volunteer families of Bademler Village this year, and eat healthy and home-made food made by the families. Volunteers can take their take away lunch with them to the work area. 1, 2 or 3 volunteers will stay in a house. The houses have rooms, toilets and bathrooms. The houses are very close to each other. Accommodation area may be replaced by the cooperative's bungalow houses, but has not been confirmed yet.
📍 About the location
Bademler Village of Izmir, which is the third largest province of the country in the western part of Turkey, is one of the most interesting villages in Turkey with its culture and very typical traditions. It is 10 km from Urla and 60 km from İzmir. In 1969, the village theater was built and today all the villagers are very interested in the theater, both as audiences and actors. During the day, city dwellers work on farms and greenhouses, but in the evening most villagers become actors on stage. During the camp, there will be a sea festival in Bademler and the volunteers will have the chance to participate in the festival and have fun. This village is also famous for it's typical wedding ceremonies and the “Sea Festival”, where the whole village goes to the seaside and spends a day or two under the tents. http://www.cittaslow.org/network
