Balkan Peace Park Project: Summer Programmes, 2010

As recently noted in the London 'Metro' newspaper, B3P has been busy planning summer programmes for July and August! For the past two summers, B3P has coordinated english and environmental science classes and after-school activities for local children in the village of Thethi, Albania. The village is in the proposed peace park area and the summer programme is a practical way B3P helps to build capacity in local areas and encourage youth to take pride in their environment and community. The summer programmes are organized and run by a group of volunteers, like YOU! This summer, B3P is hoping to expand and have summer programmes in all three countries involved in the proposed transboundary peace park- Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro. Fundraising is encouraged as volunteers are responsible for covering their costs and funds for the programmes.

WHO: You and a group of motivated volunteers! Volunteers are selected based on interest and skills they can bring to the programme. Volunteers will meet before to plan and organize the summer programme.
WHAT: Summer programmes in Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro. Programmes differ in design and purpose. During the programme volunteers will live with local families who provide accommodation and food for approximately 25 euros per night.
WHEN: July and August, 2010
WHY: The environment can be peacefully shared by all.
CONTACTS: For more information contact the Summer Programme coordinator- Erin Marchington (erin.marchington@gmail.com)
