U volonterskom projektu u okviru Europskih snaga solidarnosti koji je trajao od 29.5. do 14.6.2023., grupa od 13 međunarodnih volontera dizajnirala je i izradila nastambu za mini koze i zečeve na Eco Educational Farm Greenville.
Glavni zadatak ovog projekta bio je osmisliti, izgraditi i implementirati prostor za domaće životinje, poput zečeva i koza. Da bismo to postigli, radili smo svi zajedno u okruženju ruralnog područja našeg gospodarstva, učeći i razvijajući cijeli niz korisnih – osobnih i praktičnih – vještina.
Za unapređenje različitih sposobnosti organizirali smo tematske radionice i sastanke sa stručnjacima, u ime stjecanja teoretskog znanja za korištenje u budućnosti. Volonteri su na ovaj način razvili svoja znanja i vještine, interkulturalnu i ekološku svijest, timski rad, komunikaciju na stranom jeziku i razne praktične vještine, uključujući – između ostalog – rukovanje alatom, primjenu materijala, održavanje, konstrukciju.

METHODS AND ACTIVITIES
This project is based on non-formal education methods, which support the active involvement of participants and focus on their self-reflection and documenting learning outcomes. Such methods also encourage young people to choose their own approaches and methods that offer them flexibility and freedom in exploring their emerging interests.
INFLUENCE
By participating in the project, volunteers will confirm their motivation to gain new knowledge and experience and show that they nurture values such as solidarity. In doing so, this will give them a better insight into the importance of inclusion, structured learning, responding to needs, focusing on real impact and taking action in the local community.
The special impact on volunteers will be reflected in the learning outcomes themselves, such as the development of social and civic skills, interculturalism, a sense of initiative, entrepreneurship, the strengthening of language competences and learning.
Through independent living in a new environment, participants will develop a sense of responsibility and skill in dealing with unfamiliar situations and interacting with different people. At the same time, skills of accepting different cultures will be developed that will benefit the local community at the same time.
The biggest benefits that volunteers will benefit from participating in the European Solidarity Force project are self-awareness, the ability to work with other people, trying new things, developing knowledge and skills, and interculturalism and solidarity.
This project is implemented with the financial support of the European Commission. Publications related to the same express the author's sole point of view and the Commission cannot be held responsible for the use of the information contained therein.
