Studying abroad – winter consultations

Activities, Trainings , , , ,

While NGO Our action is waiting for the implementation of the local Kotor youth strategy 2020-2021 we started with the implementation of measure B3 of the action plan for the youth of Kotor.

We started the year with a winter consultation workshop regarding studying abroad that was held by the representative of the Organisation of Montenegrins Studying Abroad, Dimitrije Jovicevic. Dimitrije talked to youth about mobility and studying abroad, available stipends for Montenegro citizens, procedures and deadlines for application, the process of application and much more. There was of course Q&A time for young people to ask about details that interested them regarding studying abroad.

We invite all young people in the Boka bay to follow our facebook page or the page Info centar za mlade Kotor for more educational and other possibilities.

River clean-up action, Ribnica

Youth of Adriatic , , ,

On the 10th of November, under very poor weather conditions, we managed to organize the river Ribnica clean-up action. The action was joined by our partner organization the kayak club “Podgorica” and the Podgorica Waste management company. We have managed to collect 30 bags of waste and a decent amount of larger waste items such as chairs and paint cans. Since the recent flooding and coastal bad weather brought a lot of plastic and other waste to the beaches and river banks, we are calling for all organizations, willing volunteer, citizens and the waste management companies to have actions to clean the accumulations. Additionally we sincerely thank all volunteers who helped during this action in the cold, wind and rain. . #budiprimjer #NVONasaakcija #NGOOurAction #MladizacistJadran #YouthforacleanAdriatic
