UPCYCLING WORKCAMP IN CROATIA
From 05 to 13 JUly 2023
Art&Nature work camp is a youth nature camp as an opportunity for personal development and educational experience. It is an environment where young people can learn and raise awareness about volunteering and its benefits, the importance of protecting the natural environment, the development of global awareness and positive attitudes in terms of greater cross-cultural understanding and active participation, as well as art, recycling and the importance of a zero-waste attitude and sustainable lifestyle. The project gives space for exploration, utilization, and increase of personal experiences and knowledge, mutual understanding, tolerance, team building, and civil dialogue among young people.
The worcamp is located on the Eastern coast of the Istria peninsula of Croatia. This attractive, natural bay, amidst unspoiled scenery and deep blue sea, offers beautiful woodland and rich vegetation, opportunities to relax, and its unspoiled tranquility. Being several kilometers from the nearest busy road, the camp’s visitors can enjoy unbroken peace and quiet. Alfa Albona has 2000 m2 of territory, only 1 minute’s walk from the sea.
