Activity Overview
The project aims to assemble a team of ten volunteers dedicated to maintaining urban school gardens in partner primary schools, emphasizing natural gardening practices and ecological awareness.
Volunteers will also coordinate Garden festivals and environmental initiatives, including local clean-up efforts. The project aims to raise awareness about environmental protection and the benefits of volunteering.
Accommodation, Meals, and Transportation
Volunteers will be housed in shared rooms at a local hostel, with communal bathrooms and kitchen facilities. Vegetarian/vegan meals will be provided for lunch as part of a challenge to promote plant-based diets.
The hosting organization will cover all expenses, including travel, accommodation, meals, local transportation, and activity costs, up to the maximum allowed under the European Solidarity Corps guidelines.
Training Program
Volunteers will engage in various training sessions throughout the project, including on-arrival training, gardening techniques, behavior in school settings, personal project development, and workshops on Youthpass and 8-Key Competences. Additionally, basic Croatian language lessons and information on vegetarianism will be provided.
