📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The camp is organized by the Voluntary Center “UNIVOL” based on Tomsk State University. Tomsk is one of the oldest cities in Siberia and considered as educational and science center. That is why every summer there is a camp for students, which is aimed at leadership and active citizenship development. This summer, the main topic of the camp is volunteering and its benefits for personal and global development. Tomsk also is a city of springs. There are approximately 1014 springs in the city, but unfortunately, native people underestimate their value. Except one enthusiast who has been preserving the springs by himself for last 50 years. That’s why, presence of international volunteers is important for dragging attention to this problem.
💼 What the programme involves
During the first part of the camp volunteers will help with cleaning and maintaining the springs system. They will also make a promotional video about the springs and their importance in order to preserve them. During the second part, volunteers will actively participate in students’ summer camp “University Collider”. They will be expected to prepare some educational activities about volunteering (games, workshops, movie discussions, stories about your personal volunteering experience and inspiring cases from your country, etc.) And finally will present the video about the springs.
