Voluteer weekends
The aim of the Volunteer-Weekends is to gather children and
adults in joint activities towards learning, labor and
recreation. Together the people can develop a daily plan
concerning the activities and develop new ideas. Latinovac
will provide space for everyone to be creative and
responsible, so people can make personal experiences
working in a group on the basis of cooperation and
communication.
Key terms and processes that we emphasize are: creativity,
discrepancy, preserving the cultural heritage, learning
trough intercultural communication, expression of personal
needs trough requests (here and now), in relation to the
presence in the group, which, again, contributes to the
quality of life.
Possible activities:
- maintenance of the Livadak domain (gardening,
reconstruction, recycling)
- activities for personal growth and team development
(non-violent-communication, compassionate listening)
- re/creative activities (sports, meditation, dance,
walking, hiking, music)
Before each weekend the program will be specified and sent
to everyone interested.

Stay at ECL
There is furthermore the opportunity for volunteers to be
at the ECL apart from the weekends. The volunteers as a
group or a single person can use all the facilities
(sleeping space, kitchen, internet, garden, etc.) and enjoy
the relaxing and beautiful surroundings of Latinovac. ECL
would ask for two hours of work, so the volunteers will be
connected with the project, and 20 Kuna (2-3 €) per
day to cover water and electricity.
Interested persons can contact ECL!
