Open call for young people who are interested in joining summer volunteering camp for two week in Brno, Czech Republic. High as a Giraffe is a short-term volunteering project organised by Hnutí Brontosaurus and funded by the European Solidarity Corps programme of the European Union.
About the project
"High as a Giraffe" is a great opportunity for 20 participants (10 from Czech Republic and 10 from the other European countries) to meet new people and better understand your origins. During the project time, you will enjoy 14 days full of adventures, volunteer work, new experiences, and, most importantly, new friendships. You also get a unique opportunity to learn more about Czech culture and traditions.
Activities have been prepared to be focused on mutual cooperation, understanding, and respect. The camp program is aimed at suppressing prejudices and stereotypes, and focus on celebrating Czech cultures. Participants will be involved in creating the program, we will cook together and participants will be able to conduct their own workshops.
Participants will work for 5-7 hours daily for 10 days and will take the rest 4 days off. The work will be different depending on weather conditions and and current needs of the Alinkov monument. Participants might be cleaning out the building, or repairing a fence. When there won’t be a work, Particioants will have some activities prepared, but you can share your own. It can be games, workshops, sharing your knowledge on various themes. The surrounding nature just asks for walks around the river, so bring some comfy shoes.
