The project “Suncokret’s Creative Community Centre” will host short term and long term EVS volunteers. The volunteers will conduct their EVS at Suncokret Center for Community Development in the town of Vrginmost located in Gvozd Municipality, in Sisak Moslavina County. It is a small and rural town located in beautiful hilly and forested surroundings. Our project is conducted in a rural postwar community in an area of special state concern. We work to provide educational, recreational activities in an area where these activities otherwise would not be readily available. In addition, we work to increase social inclusion of marginalized returnees, refugees and internally displaced. With our programs and projects we work with our local children and youth that have fewer opportunities especially focusing on inclusion of children and youth. With our volunteer program we promote informal and non-formal learning, mobility and intercultural dialogue and youth have a chance to learn from other youth and widen their horizons and increase competencies and skills. Suncokret provides access to educational and creative opportunities, promotion of volunteerism, increasing social inclusion and access to learning opportunities and increased access to information. The objectives of the project are to raise the awareness about volunteerism, enhance social inclusion, increase youth participation and provide non formal learning activities and increase learning opportunities.

The volunteers will spend time with socially excluded rural children and youth with fewer opportunities on a daily basis, share cultures, experience and knowledge using non-formal and informal educational methodology in workshops and activities. In addition, Suncokret hosts several international volunteer camps each summer and the EVS volunteers will have the opportunity take part in these camps and meet other international youth. During the project volunteers will be involved in several activities such as: 1. Daily educational non formal learning workshops and activities (such as: Language learning, Computer literacy, Photo and video editing workshops and journalism classes, Arts and Crafts, Music, dance and theatre workshops, Sports activities, Sustainability activities). 2. International volunteer camps and local community actions. 3. Other activities and office tasks -volunteers will have the opportunity to learn how a community development NGO functions. 4. Autonomous activities and the own personal project that volunteers will develop with the support of Suncokret. 5. Promotion of EVS and volunteerism- volunteers will present EVS and why they volunteer to the local beneficiaries and volunteers will present their own countries, cultures and traditions to the local community. We promote cultural diversity through our project as the visiting volunteers are from various EU countries and in addition the local community is not homogenous but consists of Serb returnees, Croatian refugees from Bosnia and internally displaced Croats and we have found that our projects and programs bring people together and increase social inclusion and the quality of life in the community. We have learned that international volunteers with their presence seem to bridge the cultural gaps between local individuals and at the center everyone spends time together despite different ethnicities or nationalities and this promotes intercultural and interethnic dialogue. International volunteers spending time in Vrginmost will have the opportunity to share their cultures and traditions with the local community through their interaction with local children, youth and citizens and will in turn learn about the local community, culture and traditions. We promote multiculturalism, tolerance and a respect for differences and this will benefit both the volunteers, local beneficiaries and the local community. At the heart of the project is sharing the values of volunteering, altruism, multiculturalism and learning; and modeling these behaviors in the local community.
