The workcamp holds the idea of bringing locals and volunteers together to know each others cultures through work, so ideas to interact with the locals and open mindedness are welcome. Together they will clean the rivers banks, make and place garbage bins and organize events. It is preferred that volunteers have an eye for photography or filming, so that the group could make photos (or a video) that will be used for the presentation of environmental and touristic potential of the region. As many locals don t speak English well, giving English lessons might be a good way for interaction with them, so some volunteers should speak good English. Hence, many excursions will be organized, hiking, paragliding, karaoke-
