Additionally we had a clean up activity of a sand dune that was completely covered by plastic waste that the sea had brought to this location, and we finished two sculptures from driftwood collected from the beach as part of the Interreg – IPA CBC project “Welcome” , of which results will be announced at a later date. Of course besides our eco activities youth had an opportunity to learn about setting up and living at camp, and enjoyed nature, the beach, swimming and having fun. #nekabudecisto #stopplasticpollution #initiativesbemed #montenegro #BeMed #BeMedMontenegro #YouthforacleanAdriatic #MladizacistJadran #NVONasaAkcija #NGOOurAction #Breakfreefromplastic #TrashtagMontenegro #OcistiME #ZeroWasteMontenegro Beyond Plastic Med – BEMED # očistimocrnugoru #coastalcleanup #oceanconservancy #beachcleanup

Little library in the open renewed, Podgorica

Actions, Activities

Respecting the measures of covid prevention measures, volunteers of the NGO Our action set up a renovated small open-air library in the Bocar Club in Gorica, Podgorica. Although the Club is closed, we wanted to prepare a library for citizens. Due to the measures, we were not able to make a public action, so the volunteers themselves, among their families, collected donations of books for the new library in the refrigerator. We hope that next week open civic actions will be possible in our further installation and renovation of libraries throughout Montenegro.

The first action of making installations for the Interreg project “WELCOME

Youth of Adriatic

Last weekend, young volunteers of the NGO Our action started an action of making art installations from collected natural and processed wood from the beach. Within the project “WELCOME” (WatER LandsCapes sustainability thrOught reuse of Marine littEr) which is financed through “Interreg IPA CBC Italy-Albania-Montenegro”, JU Morsko dobro announced in October 2019 a competition for the production of these art installations for which our organization won the third prize. The proposal of our young artists includes two installations – a crab and a jellyfish, which will be composed of natural materials without the use of nails or some other materials harmful to nature. After the construction, all installations within the project are planned to be placed on the dunes on Velika plaža and will serve as artistic protective constructions for the preservation of sand dunes. During this action day, one part of the team was in charge of procuring glue, wooden dowels and ropes, the other part of the team was working on the beach to gather the necessary material. The experience took the young people to one of the worst beaches in Montenegro, right to the right of the Lustica bay complex. After that, they started making installations that slowly began to form. We will not publish the results, ie the installations themselves, until the action of setting them up, on March 28, 2020.

At the same time, our four-year initiative to open a youth club for young people in the Nautica area is finally being realized. In 2020, we are working hard to achieve the goals of the local action plan through the improvement of youth policy in Kotor, through work in the Youth Council, but also through three projects that have already been approved by international organizations and institutions. Online facebook informant “Info Center for Youth Kotor” will soon have an instagram form in order to inform young people about opportunities, opportunities and other forms of improving the needs of young people. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight our young volunteers who have shown themselves in the past year and contributed to Kotor through humanitarian actions to raise funds for sick children, children with disabilities and improving conditions in OS Njegos in Skaljari through the UpShift project. There are also numerous environmental activities that adorn their work and contribution to the community.
