📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The workcamp is a common initiative of several local partner associations (Association of young people from Sicevo 'Klisura', Municipality of Niska Banja, Mycological Society of Nis, Permaculture association of Serbia, MN association). Our goal is to educate people on using natural materials, importance of preserving nature and advantages of ecofriendly lifestyles.
💼 What the programme involves
The work will be focused on building a resting area in order to enable opportunities for local people to have free time in a natural ambient. Volunteers will work on cleaning the woods from garbage and clearing the vegetation. They will make benches, tables, info boards and trash bins using old wood pallets. Together, we will mark the hiking path which is connecting Sicevo with the peak of Kusaca (771m above sea level) and build a small fountain using stones. Local volunteers will help in construction works. Participation of the local volunteers will be an essential part of the workcamp.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In a local school, 500 m from the workplace, with toilets and showers. No sleeping bags needed. Volunteers will prepare meals by themselves from ingredients provided by hosts.
