İş Tanımı
Volunteers will spend mornings in various activities with the members that Association supports. There will be artistic tasks (mosaics), educational (some workshops), sports... After the lunch, together with the users, volunteers will walk in city center visiting main museums (National one, Nikola Tesla museum, Ethnographic...).
Volunteers will also dedicate some time to keep the school clean.
The main aim is to be there to meet the people that don't have that many opportunities for that in regular life, so the good will is really something that will help immensely!
Konaklama ve Yemek
Volunteers will be accommodated in the school dormitory for the pupils with difficulties (disabilities) in rooms with 2 or 3 beds and bathroom. Since it is a time of holidays, rooms will be empty, but some kids will be there to join the activities.
Provided food will be prepared by volunteers in the dormitory's kitchen.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Camp is taking place in Belgrade, just few kilometers from historic center with the good connection of free public transport (20 minutes, by bus). As one of the most ancient cities in Europe, Serbian and once-Yugoslavian capital has a lot to offer. Streets full of friendly people, galleries, caffes, museums, parks, clubs, monuments, fortress that looks at two mighty European rivers (Sava and Danube)-it is all made so that people can appreciate the Life more (to say it poetically). Many activities will be part of the project, but volunteers will also have some free-time, that they can use as it suits them.
The only things that would be nice to bring with you are patience and smile, all the rest is of secondary importance!
