The association "Živimo zајedno" founded a group of parents with the aim of improving the quality of life of their children - persons with intellectual disabilities, families and the entire social community in 1997. Given that they have been in existence for over 28 years, they have extensive experience in working with people with disabilities, as well as organizing various events.
The mission of the association is to make people with developmental disabilities visible, present and active in all segments of social life, to affirm their abilities and individuality, to promote their rights and enable them to live a dignified and fulfilling life. The values of the association are equality, commitment, tolerance, solidarity, partnership development as well as permanent education for all.

Volunteers will be engaged 6 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week, in agreement with them and current needs. Most of the activities happen outside. Activities in which volunteers participate are activities that our users also engage in daily: maintenance and arrangement of work and living space; tidying up the yard and plot; pulling weeds and working in the garden and greenhouse (hoeing, watering, crop care and harvesting...) - at the location where the accommodation is; sorting of the obtained fruits and vegetables - separation for nutrition in the camp, for distribution to socially disadvantaged members of the local community; going to the local environment to empty recycling containers with PET packaging and bringing it to Oasis; pressing packaging and separating caps; visiting vulnerable families from the local community. The camp is designed as a place for socializing, mutual communication and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities with volunteers from the regular population, who come from different cultures and environments.
In addition to work activities, activities are also planned that promote togetherness, socializing, relaxation and fun for all participants of the Oasis. Table tennis, bowling, basketball are just some of the activities that will be available to volunteers during their free time. At the end of the camp, a farewell party is planned for all volunteers.

Camp Oaza Golubinci gathers people of good will who are ready to help and provide support in life and work to adults with developmental disabilities. Oasis Golubinci is a living and working community for people with disabilities, and in the Oasis itself there is accommodation for volunteers and users. Volunteers will be accommodated in houses that have all the necessary equipment (sufficient number of bathrooms, kitchen, dining room), in double and triple rooms. All houses/accommodation units are in the same yard, so volunteers are directed to each other, although they may be in separate houses. Given that there are 4 different kitchens, there are opportunities for volunteers to participate in the preparation of food themselves, and the association can provide the necessary food, according to our capabilities. Volunteers will be provided with bedding.

Golubinci (village/town in the municipality of Stara Pazova), 8km from the town of Stara Pazova. The town has about 5,000 inhabitants, it is a multicultural environment, the majority of the population is of the Orthodox faith, but the Catholic population is also very represented. In the center of the town there are Orthodox and Catholic churches, a supermarket, a post office, a school, a kindergarten, a health center, cafes... It is interesting that the castle Schloss (from the 18th century) is located there, which is accompanied by stories about curses, infidelities and punishments. It has significant architecture and historical value because Karađorđe Petrović and composer Ludwig Van Beethoven stayed there.
Various events are held in the town itself throughout the year: Cat Shows (masquerade ball and Carnival), Days of Rosemary, Earth Day... During the volunteers' stay, the celebration of Petrovdan will be held - the glory of the place, during which numerous outdoor activities will be organized and a fair enjoyed by all the locals.
In Stara Pazova (8 km from Golubinac) there is a train station from which you can take a fast train to Belgrade and Novi Sad in 15-20 minutes, where volunteers can get to know the numerous sights of Serbia in their free time.
