After a three-month break, it was a great pleasure to work in Gorica again and join the field work of the wonderful Association of Gorica Lovers. A large team and good will removed as many as three dried pine trees and cleared the pedestrian path in Zone C.

After the action, young volunteers went to donate books to the small library in the Bocara Club, and there were also donations of seedlings so that this wonderful location would be improved.
To mark June 5, World Environment Day, the NGO Our action organized an eco camp for young people on Long beach in Ulcinj. The camp is part of the Youth for a Clean Adriatic project funded through Beyond plastic Med and the Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco. At the camp, young people had the opportunity to learn from the representatives of the Public Institution Morsko dobro about the importance of sand dunes in the protection of the beach and this local ecosystem. An action of cleaning a dune with large deposits of plastic waste was carried out, and installations of wood material collected from the beach within the Interreg – IPA CBC project “Welcome” were completed, the results of which will be announced later. Of course, in addition to eco activities, young people learned to set up and assemble a camp, and enjoyed nature, the beach, swimming and socializing.

NGO Our action started today the project “Eco Agro Cluster – Boka Bay” is designed as a driving force to create a network of companies, organizations, citizens in Kotor, Tivat and Herceg Novi that follow a common vision of development, promotion and support the growth of agritourism and ecotourism. In cooperation, we hope to expand this network and create an opportunity where rural tourism and rural communities can succeed, with opportunities for environmental education and food production based on the principles of organic production and permaculture. We want to raise awareness of these types of tourist opportunities, encourage the spread of the concept in the bay and promote green businesses and healthy living in the area, of course all while protecting the natural heritage of our bay.
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.
Thru the realization of our project “Youth for a clean Adriatic” financed by BeMed and the foundation of Prince Albert II of Monaco, NGO Our action attracted the attention of the magazine. Our project was placed in this summers issue.
