Description

Young Active Gracanica is an organisation that supports young people in the municipality of Gracanica, through a variety of workshops, different events and activism. The vision of the organization is to create an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding between different cultures, to develop young peoples’ potentials and to act responsibly in the local community. Gracanica is surrounded with mine tailing, which pollutes soil, water and air, but local people do not deal with environmental issues, since they are dealing with everyday survival. This workcamp is to raise awareness among local people about the importance of drinkable water, sustainability and environmental issues.

Volunteers will work around water spring and river area, which should be cleaned up and arranged. They will make messages from recycled materials about the importance of water and other environmental issues. There will be additional tasks such as collecting herbs, workshops of organic agriculture and making ponds for watering animals.
