📌 About the Project
🌍 Rural Volunteering Adventure in Croatia
📍 Locations: Veliki Žitnik (Lika region) & Sumartin (Island of Brač)
💼 All expenses covered under the European Solidarity Corps framework
This two-week volunteering experience invites participants to immerse themselves in two picturesque Croatian communities—one nestled in the forested mountains of Lika, the other in a coastal village on the island of Brač.
Volunteers will contribute to local life through hands-on activities such as assisting elderly residents with olive harvesting, engaging in basic woodworking, and supporting community-based initiatives.
