The reason for making a youth camp at the time of festival is the popularity of the traditional rock festival, that gathers the regional youth of all ethnic groups and all nationalities, so they spend a great time in our city without any idea of conflict. As the popularity of the festival grows, it would be a miss if we didn't use this event for creating international camp that would improve these friendly gatherings of youth from this region.
The main aim of the camp activities is to improve youth exchange, intercultural learning workshops with multi-language methods and forums. All participants will learn more about the cultural heritage of small town, Jablanica, and about the festival and its ways to fight the youth passivity.
Volunteers would have to take part in the promotion of festival through street actions, and for that action they would have small workshop to prepare them for promoting. Volunteers would also take a part in preparing festival area, and also taking part at the festival, at last days of camp. part in volunteering for other organisations in town, that do similar events at that certain time, as the Rock Marathon festival is part of ‘Jablanica summer fest’, so we will be volunteering in other events that would happen like ‘Rower marathon’ at Jablanica lake.
Accommodation:
Volunteers will be accommodated in pensions, in shared rooms with all equipment (bathrooms, toilets and kitchen). Volunteers will prepare meals in the facilities and will also have opportunity to taste some traditional food.
Free time:
As for cultural education, at first days of camp, volunteers would visit memorial complex of ‘Battle for Neretva’, and learn about the cultural heritage and history of Jablanica. In the days after that visit, we are planning to take the volunteers to nature park ‘Blidinje’ at the mountain plateau Risovac on the mountain of Cvrsnica, where participants would be introduced with the effects of pure nature and society of Jablanica.
