Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

ProjectInternational language camp is organized for teenagers by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALP S) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. The project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to the youth and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication by means of alternative English language practice which includes meetings, visits, contacts to young people from abroad. The project gets teens of 14 to 16 years old familiar with national traditions of the countries from all over the world, encourages them to develop their global thinking and individual initiative, tolerance and resistance to xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Camps give foreign participants a great chance to meet youngsters both from Estonia and other countries as well as to experience local life. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite you to explore ecosystems that shape the way we live, learn and thrive in the domains of nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we will try to develop working strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world such as seeing connections between parts of a whole, co-evolution or understanding unintended consequences. Camp participants will learn to build supportive peer networks and naturally integrate individual aims into existing ecosystems, manage change for alternative future and take initiative, influence synergetic loops and utilize personal progress for mutual sustained prosperity. We hope you will gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world of various ecosystems - but to help reshape it toward greater justice and flourishing life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.

ProjectInternational language camp is organized for teenagers by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALP S) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. The project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to the youth and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication by means of alternative English language practice which includes meetings, visits, contacts to young people from abroad. The project gets teens of 14 to 16 years old familiar with national traditions of the countries from all over the world, encourages them to develop their global thinking and individual initiative, tolerance and resistance to xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Camps give foreign participants a great chance to meet youngsters both from Estonia and other countries as well as to experience local life. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite you to explore ecosystems that shape the way we live, learn and thrive in the domains of nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we will try to develop working strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world such as seeing connections between parts of a whole, co-evolution or understanding unintended consequences. Camp participants will learn to build supportive peer networks and naturally integrate individual aims into existing ecosystems, manage change for alternative future and take initiative, influence synergetic loops and utilize personal progress for mutual sustained prosperity. We hope you will gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world of various ecosystems - but to help reshape it toward greater justice and flourishing life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.

The workcamps have been successful and in 2025, 59 vols. from Japan, Italy, Hong Kong and Spain joined 6 workcamps with creating great impact! You may wonder if the volunteering for short term can be useful for their education and even worry if they feel too sad and tired to repeat hi and bye. But children have got greatly motivated to study by having international big sisters/ brothers as one of their role models and felt happiness and encouragement by having reliable adult friends since they had been terribly neglected by the society.

Arbeit

Volunteers will be involved in two main types of activities during the camp. The first work activity refers to the removal of invasive species of fish in Lake Gruža, which will be carried out in cooperation with local fishermen, with prior familiarization of volunteers with the basics of freshwater ecosystems, the importance of controlling invasive species and the rules of safe stay on the water. Activities will take place on and near the lake, in smaller groups and with the constant presence of experienced fishermen and members of the organizational team.

In addition, during the camp, two to three organized actions to clean up the shores of Lake Gruža are planned, which will include the removal of waste from coastal areas and raising awareness of a responsible attitude towards natural resources. These activities will be carried out with the coordination of association members and the participation of the local population.

Another work activity will be focused on the preparation and improvement of educational settings in the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", including the creation and installation of interactive boards, marking of educational paths and the preparation of educational content that will be used in working with visitors to the center, especially children and young people.

Work activities are planned for 5 to 6 hours a day, in the morning and early afternoon (approximately from 9 to 15/16), after which free time and recreational activities are planned.

As part of the program, special days are planned for a walk in nature, a stay at the lake and a visit to the local fair in Knić, in order for the volunteers to get to know the local environment and community. Throughout the camp, volunteers will be assisted in their work by camp coordinators, association members and local fishermen.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation for camp participants will be organized in the premises of the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža". The participants will be accommodated in the closed rooms of the center, on camping beds with appropriate pads, and bedding is provided. Accommodation will be organized in smaller rooms, with two to three campers per room, which ensures adequate conditions for rest and stay.

Food will be organized within the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", with the use of the center's kitchen. Camp participants will independently prepare meals from foods that will be provided in cooperation with rural households and local producers. The kitchen will be available for storing food, as well as for preparing meals, snacks and hot and cold drinks.

Sanitary conditions are adapted to the needs of the participants, with provided toilets and areas for maintaining personal hygiene. All enclosed facilities of the center will be available for participants to store personal belongings and will be securely locked, thus ensuring a safe and controlled environment for all volunteers.

Lage und Freizeit

Lake Gruža is an artificial reservoir in central Serbia, located in the municipality of Knić. It was created by damming the Gruža River, and today it represents a key source of water supply for Kragujevac and the surrounding settlements. Surrounded by untouched nature, the lake is a habitat for rich flora and fauna and a favorite destination for fishermen, hikers and nature lovers.

Lake Gruža is an internationally important bird habitat (IBA area), where rare and protected species live. It is also one of the most important fishing waters in Serbia, rich in carp, perch and other types of fish. In the immediate vicinity is the Borački karst, a geomorphological monument of nature, which further enriches the natural and touristic importance of this area.

The camp will be held in the immediate vicinity of Lake Gruža, in the Ecological Information Center (EIC) "Jezero Gruža", which is an educational and research center dedicated to nature protection, especially water protection. This space is ideal for spending time in nature, with infrastructure adapted for workshops, lectures and practical outdoor activities.

In the EIC "Jezero Gruža" there is a permanent exhibition "Life in water", which shows the most important aquatic organisms from the waters of Serbia and the Balkans. Camp participants will gain new knowledge about nature conservation, the importance of freshwater ecosystems and sustainable development through interactive programs, environmental actions and teamwork, with the opportunity to explore biodiversity and observe birds in the natural environment.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Ekomar - the Association for the Promotion and Ecological Marketing of Natural Values ​​has been actively operating since 2015 with the aim of protecting the environment and raising environmental awareness. We place a special focus on working with young people, through the education of primary and secondary school students, as well as students, through various projects and programs. In this context, we are again applying for the organization of the camp, relying on our previous experience and developed organizational capacities.

One of our key projects is the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", a unique place for education about the importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems. Through workshops, camps and interactive educational programs, every year we involve young people, enabling them to acquire knowledge about biodiversity, nature protection and sustainable development through practical work and research. Since 2022, over 3,000 participants have participated in our programs, while in 2025, we successfully organized the first international volunteer camp, which further improved the quality and scope of our activities.

Our team consists of experts in the fields of biology, ecology and pedagogy, with extensive experience in the implementation of projects of local to international importance, as well as many years of experience in working with young people, from preschool age to students.

Through continuous work with young people and active participation in the creation and implementation of environmental policies, we continue to build an environmentally conscious community and contribute to the preservation of natural values.
