Youth of Adriatic , , ,

Today, a young team of volunteers from Our Action, in cooperation with the Municipality of Tivat and the Tivat Youth Team, went to the location of the parish in Tivat on the occasion of Earth Day. With the support of the Tivat Municipal Company, DVD Tivat and the Protection Service, we cleaned the entire coast of this location from plastic waste, and then cleaned the path and the approach part of the park from trees felled by leeches that spent the winter there. There was a lot of work, although a large part was cleaned, another action is planned in May, in order to finish the activity, which was of a very large scale. We thank all volunteers and services! A wonderful but very difficult action that we successfully overcame with our joint efforts.
This activity is supported by the Municipality of Tivat, TO Tivat, Porto Montenegro and through the support of the European endowment for democracy.

Cleaning action of Cape Ratac

Activities, HERITAGE AND YOUTH, Youth of Adriatic

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!

“We thank everyone who came out to meet us and helped us to mark this day, and leave this wonderful place for swimming in a beautiful condition. We appeal to the Utility Company Kotor to return the container that was in this location until 2019 and thus perhaps motivate bathers and other visitors to dispose of waste at an appropriate location. ” says the Organizational Manager of the NGO Naša akcija Vuk Koljenšić.

Youth of Adriatic , , , ,

MSJA – Dr. Martin Schneider-Jacoby within the project “Ulcinj coast without plastic”, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ, organized a three-day event called “REuse_REduce_REcycle”, and consisted of presentations, workshops and exhibitions of sculptures .
The idea of ​​the final activity on this project is the desire to together with beach tenants (Pacha Kitesurf Beach, Dolcinium Kitesurf Beach, Ka´banya Kitesurf Beach) draw the attention of all beach users to the impact of plastic on the environment with a focus on the coast, and to more actively involve all stakeholders to reduce the use of plastics in order to completely eliminate plastics and soon Ulcinj coast becomes Plastic free. The exhibition contains 6 sculptures and 4 installations created by young activists of the NGO Our Action with the active participation of MSJA volunteers and all participants in this event. The opening ceremony of the exhibition “Under the clear sky” was attended by the mayor of Ulcinj, Mr. Aleksnadar Dabovic, who also officially opened this exhibition, as well as representatives of the media and NGO sector and citizens who showed support for this project. The exhibits we set up at Pacha Surf Beach were already accompanied by the enthusiasm and participation of visitors on the day of the set-up. The sculptures will be on display at PachaSurf Beach until August 23, 2021.

Completed a series of workshops for making installations for KFPD

Youth of Adriatic , , ,

Through the final program of the project “Youth for a Clean Adriatic” funded by BeMed and the Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco and under the auspices of the Municipality of Kotor, the NGO Naša akcija has held workshops to repair, make and set up installations for the Kotor Children’s Theater Festival. Using recyclable materials with a focus on plastics, young creatives had the opportunity to show off their skills and then ennoble public spaces with their installations. Particular interest was shown for a small open-air library and a plastic dress called “New Fashion”, because plastic seems to be the new fashion of this era. We invite all citizens to donate books for the small open-air library, which is currently located on the cinema market, and which will find its new, long-term location after the festival.
