Land Art in Croatia

Activity description

We are organizing a 50-day team volunteer project in a rural area in Croatia. The central event will be the Land-art festival, in which we will involve several high school classes. At the festival, different sculptures will be made from different natural materials. We use the creation of land-art festival sculptures as a tool for the inclusion of young people, young people with fewer opportunities, talent development, social entrepreneurship and community development in terms of culture and tourism. On this link https://arteco.hr/land-art-festival-projekt/ you can see what it looked like last year. Volunteers should help maintain the sculpture park, build new art houses and gazebos and sculptures, keep trails accessible

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation is provided in the Theme Park itself, where we have built ecological houses made of wood. Even though the accommodation is like that, we still have electricity, hot water, internet.We grow food in the garden, volunteers need to participate in it, or we buy locally produced.Transportation is covered through the project, volunteers should keep their travel tickets so that they can be paid after the project is completed. It's easy to get to us because the theme park is right next to the railway station on the Zagreb-Belgrade line, you can get to us by bus or car

volunteers will have training in the Croatian language, digital skills, dancing, social entrepreneurship, making sculptures and useful objects from wood, cooking...
