The rain did not stop us from the idea of placing the towers in the greenhouse of the Urban Garden, in which we eventually planted lettuce and other agricultural crops. All in all, a very productive and successful day. We are proud to see the changes @urbanabastapodgorica every Saturday and look forward to every new activity. See you next Saturday!
Tomorrow is a special day and event for us: we are organizing an open day for new volunteers! Join us to contribute to our community together, to socialize at various workshops, outdoor activities, clean-ups and much more. Welcome!💛🧡
On Sunday, March 27, NGO Naša action with its colleagues from @omladinski_tim_tivat marked Water Day with an action to clean the coast and pine forest at the location Rt. A warrior. We chose this location because of the rather large amount of waste that has been neglected for months. Our email itself seemed to be motivated by the Bar utility company, which cleaned the landfill, which has been located in the forest for 4 months. In addition, our team collected additional large amounts of waste, mostly plastic packaging. The NGO Info Sport CG, the oldest volunteer of Bar, Mr. Miodrag Banović, who showed by his example that it is never too late to be a volunteer, as well as the Đurišić family from Bar, joined the action. We are always grateful when citizens join the activities.
In addition to the cleaning operation, we visited the cultural and historical heritage of the monastery of St. Mary Ratačka as well as the Mogren fortress in Budva. Of course, this action is intertwined with a lot of fun with the guitar, spring swimming, jumping off the rocks and the socializing of 30 young people from Kotor, Tivat, Podgorica, Cetinje and Budva.
This activity is realized through the Nature program for the mental and physical health of young people, financed by the European Endowment for Democracy. We are also grateful for the support of TO Bar and Morski Dobr, who supported us in the realization of this activity. Rt. Ratac is clean, let him stay that way!

On Saturday, March 19, NGO Naša Akcija together with @omladinski_tim_tivat went to Gornja Lastva for the K4 race to help secure the track for young competitors. According to our standard volunteer model for actions, there was work-education and fun. After working on the track, the young people had the opportunity to climb Sveti Vid, visit the village of Gornja Lastva, as well as the mill that was arranged by the previous generation of young people from the NGO Our Action. At the end, there was also a quad bike ride in the countryside. We thank the organizers for a wonderful event and a fulfilling day. This activity is supported by the European Endowment for Democracy as part of the program Nature for the mental and physical health of young people.
On Friday, March 18, starting at 6:00 p.m., a hobby workshop was held at the initiative of our volunteers Ivone and Teodora, all within the “Soft & life skills” program, which is supported by the European Endowment for Democracy! Young people had the opportunity to hear what kind of hobbies they engage in as individuals, they exchanged their experiences and interests in various things such as drawing, astrology, exchanging postcards and more.
This workshop will also be held on the coast in the coming period, which we will announce in due time💪✨
On Thursday, March 17, in partnership with the wrestling club Perjanik from Podgorica, we organized an evening of self-defense! The participants had the opportunity to warm up for training, learn basic movements useful for self-defense, and finally, we had a lot of fun! We express our great gratitude to coach Boris Bošković, without whom this workshop would not be of the same quality!
This activity is supported by the European Endowment for Democracy.
It is with great pleasure that we announce that we have become a member of the #YouthHUB Network!
