This project will be very rich in what will be done during the stay. Firstly, volunteers will make and then position houses for birds. Also, they will prepare info-tables (boards) that will be put on some locations (local eco-center and few other important points). The stars of the project, owls, will have their winter areas arranged, since they need to do the general cleaning from time to time (luckily for them, volunteers will do that instead of themselves; what can we say-they are noblesse of the area and that oblige...the others, hehe). Arranging of the river coast, as well as some cleaning of the local beach will also take place. For the end, formation of local eco-garden in the bio-center "Green Zasavica". Can anybody wish for something more from a beautiful workcamp?

The accommodation will be in the local bio-center and the food will be prepared from domestic ingredients (you will see, it is a very fertile zone, of what locals are very proud demonstrating their happiness and creativity in their numerous meals, to conclude-Nobody will be hungry, right the opposite, hehe).

The project will be situated in the cute village of Zasavica (pronounced: "Zasavitsa"). It is typical agricultural settlement in this part of Serbia, since there are houses, taken-care-of gardens in front, big fields for different land cultures in the back. It is not big, but it has its charm.

In extremely near surrounding is the "Special natural reserve of Zasavica", protected area with huge number of species of flora and fauna (Ranunculus lingua, Hottonia palustris, as well as rarer Triturus dobrogicus, to name just a few)! Also, we shouldn't forget classics like Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and beaver (Castor fiber), which was re-introduced in 2005. into these lands after 100 years of absence. It is good to mention that the cheese made of donkey milk is being made in the reserve, so if you get the chance to taste just a piece (we will see what we can do about that), know that you will be offered with the gift of 70 euros (hehe, really, 1 kilo costs around 1300 euros at the market).

Interesting can be that the village is only 12,67 (depending on location) km away from Sremska Mitrovica, once one of 4 capitals of the mighty Roman empire (together with Rome, Constantinopolis and Mediolanum-Milano; it was called Sirmium back then). There are still some remnants in city museums that remind the passenger of glorious past, although it should be said that the town itself even today looks really beautiful (it is just not that big as the rest of its imperial companions, hehe; who ever heard of Sirmium outside of Serbia, Yugoslavia and history-professors, not even them all know; well, you might now have even the chance to visit it). Fun fact-9 Roman emperors were born there.

For the end, important river of Sava passes by, so numerous beaches can be visited regularly, to have some refreshment in the hot days!

Needless to say really, but keep in mind that locals will be very happy to welcome you, so patience with language barriers and good mood are always nice to have!

Association "Rural center Owl" is an organization founded in 2014. with the goal of doing good to both, local community in the municipality of Sremska Mitrovica and to all the species, which are very present in this rural area (the accent is, you will guess, on birds, and especially one, what is its name...it is connected with wisdom...wait, wait, I have it...owl, yes, exactly, hehe). In order to achieve that they participated in many projects with countless partners from abroad and from Serbia. Their activities are usually education of youth (but not only, we can always learn something new), numerous volunteering actions of cleaning the surroundings, monitoring the birds, counting the specific ones, promoting rural tourism with respect to the local eco-system.

Young Researchers of Serbia (YRS) was founded in 1976. Our main aims are environmental protection and education, promotion of sustainable development, work with young people in an international context, promotion of scientific creativity and voluntarism and its values. Voluntary Service of Serbia is a volunteer exchange service center founded in 1990 as one of the sectors of YRS.

No specific requirements needed, but it will make your life easier if you bring sunscreen, adequate clothes and mosquito repellent as it gets hot and humid during the summer in Serbia. All in all, just that and smile!
