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.

Lage und Freizeit

Czech village was founded in 1837 by Czechs who immigrated from the Romanian part of Banat (where they came 10 years earlier). At that time there was the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and this area was the so-called Military Krajina, which was the first line of defense against the Ottoman Empire. In 1827, a poor population was sent from the area of the present-day Czech Republic, which settled in the area of the present-day Romanian part of the Banat. Living conditions were extremely bad and difficult and after 10 years the number of inhabitants was halved, so they were given permission to move to this part of Banat. 24 families were settled and each family received arable land in the atar of the village and a plot for a house with a garden in the village itself. In return, each family had to give one soldier/eldest son to fight for the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
The village originally had the name Ablian, between the two World Wars it was called Fabian, and since the 60s of the 20th century it has had the current name – Czech village.

Arbeit

The camp actually begins with the preparation of the camp and setting up the tent, when those who have not had the opportunity until then will learn how to assemble the tent and the rules for setting it up. There will be a training workshop where we will talk about public speaking, how to overcome stage fright and how to put together a good presentation for a good lecture. After that, volunteers in groups of two will choose a topic (with the help of professional associates) that they will work on in the first three days of the camp, in order to present the chosen topic for the next four days. The topics will be aimed at solving the problems that we have already mentioned.

Work will include mountain trails clean up and participants will have the possibility of creating posters and involve the local youth to join them.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will sleep in tents, on mats, which will be provided for them, but it is preferable to bring their own bag. Most of the tents will be for three and four people, but we will also bring one tent for ten people. Volunteers can bring their camping gear which includes all of the above. In case some people do not have their own bags, we can provide them.

There will be three or four people on duty every day, who will be in charge of preparing, setting up and serving meals. They will certainly not do it alone, but with the support of camp leaders and researchers.

Lage und Freizeit

Mount Tara with endless evergreen and deciduous forests, lush pastures and vast meadows is one of the most beautiful corners of Serbia. Tara is located in Western Serbia near Zlatibor and Mokra Gora, and it presents an area of exceptional natural beauties. It is the perfect destination for relaxation and recreation. The canyon of the Drina River in the north of the mountain range contributes to the already exceptional beauty of Tara. Lake Perućac on the Drina River and Zaovine Lake are located at the foot of the mountain. Thanks to these extraordinary natural beauties and unique ambient, Tra is a true jewel among Serbian mountains.

XIV century fortress close to Belgrade awaits volunteers to find out the mysterious building in the
Vojvodina planes. Volunteers will work on the conservation of the fortress together with the archeologist as well as some digging work. Also, they will participate in the cleaning of the sorounding areas from invasive plants and trash.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteers will stay in the two renovated ethno houses in Kupinovo, located in Ethno Park (https://www.turizampecinci.rs/туристичке-атракције/етно-парк-купиново/).
The food will be prepared together with the host from the groceries that will be provided.
Note that although the camp is close to Belgrade transport connections are bad and during the camp there won't be an opportunity to go there.
Instead, you will be located on the premise of the special nature reserve "Obedska bara" and very close to Sava river that will give you a lot of ground to explore.
