Serbien
Vermittlungsgebühr 120 EUR (+ teilw. Extra Fee)
| Seit mehreren Jahren arbeiten wir in Serbien sehr erfolgreich mit der nicht-staatlichen und regierungsunabhängigen Organisation Young Researchers of Serbia / Voluntary Service of Serbia (YRS-VSS) zusammen. Die Erfahrungsberichte unserer Freiwilligen sind sehr gut. Der Großteil der Workcamps liegt im Bereich des Umwelt- und Naturschutzes. | |
Bitte beachte: Eine Versicherung muss selbst abgeschlossen werden. Da die Organisationen in Ex-Jugoslawien wenig staatliche Unterstützung erhalten, erheben sie teilweise vor Ort eine kleine Extra-Gebühr (die Höhe steht bei der jeweiligen Campbeschreibung). Wir können dir einen Fahrtkostenzuschuss von 100€ auszahlen, wenn alle Kriterien erfüllt sind. | |

The workshop will consist of two phases. In the first – brainstorming for ideas, leaning on our past experiences and building up the theme.

Serbien VSS 06 KOSJERIC III – STREET GALLERIES, Uzice 27.07.-11.08.2012 ART 7vols (no more female)
Age limit: 23+
Kosjeric is a small town in the western part of Serbia, well known for its beautiful nature. A group of young people initiated workcamps to increase and affirm the cultural and touristic potentials through interaction between the locals and the volunteers in an international atmosphere.
WORK: The workshop will consist of two groups organized around the idea of “street galleries”. First group’s task will be painting murals and introducing innovations to the technical procedure of the wall painting itself. The basic medium shall be acrylic façade painting. However, interventions and experiments with the third dimension are also sought after. The primary goal of the second group work is introducing new forms of expression, graffiti art and spreading popular culture through interaction with young people. An art that’s been marginalized throughout decades and classified as subculture gets its own legitimate place and recognition through a phenomenon of a “street gallery”. Synthesis and collaboration between these two groups is possible depending on ideas and agreement among the members. According to their own affinities, the participants will decide between two groups in order to express their creativity to the full extent. The first camp days will pass in getting acquainted with the basics of the mural painting and graffiti, as well as in exchanging ideas among participants themselves. Apart from the masterpiece, there is also a possibility of creating stencils, tags. Visit: www.artcamp.ktowngroup.org.rs

The Special Nature Reserve Zasavica is located west of Belgrade, along the Sava River, and covers 671 ha. This is one of the reserves with a very strong management system and in the last eight years it organized very successful international voluntary workcamps.

This condition made us realize the need for clearing the Reserve from the introduced species.
WORK: The volunteers will clean the Reserve Zasavica from invasive alien species (Asclepias syriacus and others) that adversely affect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically.
ACCOMMODATION: In a house inside the Reserve, with several bedrooms.
