Village Camp “Take Me as a Villager”

Village Camp “Take Me as a Villager” – challenge for active and creative young people

Do you want to travel, meet new people, and create ideas that can make a difference in entire communities?

Village Camp “Adopt Me as a Villager” invites you to take part in a different kind of youth experience, where there are no ready-made solutions — only real-life challenges, local stories, and space for your ideas.

Over the course of seven days, active and creative young people aged 18 and over will work together with local communities on real challenges related to the development and future of rural areas.

What can you expect?

You will immerse yourself in the life of local communities, talk to local people, discover their stories, and explore new ways to showcase and develop them.

You will work as part of a team, use digital tools, and develop ideas for new services, cultural experiences, and entrepreneurial initiatives.

The main camp base will be in the village of Gergini. Depending on the mission you choose, you will also visit the villages of Sabotkovtsi, Novakovtsi, and Garvan.
