The whole event will be presented in media, especially local ones. - Opening of international volunteer camp.
Thanks to the Young Researchers of Serbia, the camp will have 18 young environmentalists from all over the world and 2 camp-leaders from Serbia. The volunteers will form a jury that will evaluate the works of the children from the local school and grant awards to the winners. They will also visit the Center for children with special needs in Loznica and the Foster Care Center in Banja Koviljaca. The volunteer camp will last for two weeks and, the volunteers will spend most of the time cleaning pedestrian tracks and clearing up mini scrap yards. - Lectures
The volunteers will attend two lectures on environment protection and the importance of recycling and one lecture on Serbian language and culture and Vuk Karadžić. The lectures will be held by instructors from the office of the Young Researchers of Serbia. - Cleaning of pedestrian tracks and clearing up of mini scrap yards.
There are few forest paths that lead from Tršić ethno village to Tronoša monastery, one of which is “Vuk’s path to school”. The whole length of these paths is about 40 km. The volunteers will be collecting garbage in groups and storing it temporarily in certain locations that can be approached by tractors that will transport trash to the dump. They will be also cleaning mini scrap yards in rural areas that are not included in the mandatory trash collecting zone. We’ve marked two locations we plan to clean this time. The technical and logistic support for this section of the camp will be provided by public company “Naš dom” Loznica. - Marking of pedestrian tracks
The springtime marking of pedestrian tracks, fixing of the existing signs and placing of the new ones. - Setting up of resting-places
During Eco-camp Tršić 2008, we managed to clear up a big dumping ground in Tronoša village, at the very beginning of “Vuk’s path”. Eleven trucks loaded with all kinds of trash were driven away from this location. Public company “Srbijašume” gave us permission to convert this location into a resting-place, so we could, thus, avoid forming of a new scrap yard. This company also gave us wood to make benches and tables. Timber needs to be taken and transported to the place where benches and tables will be made and, once they are completed, they need to be set in the resting-place. - Sightseeing tour of our region
The participants in the international volunteer camp will visit natural and cultural-historical monuments in our region within one-day excursion. - Promotion of the project’s results
Following the end of all the activities of the international volunteer camp, the promotion of the project’s results will be organized in cultural center “Vukov Dom Kulture” in Loznica where the winners of the contest and their works will be presented and Eco-play will be performed. The results of this year’s camp will also be available on the web presentation.
