Description
Russian NGO InterAction Club creates its residence in a rural area of Central-Southern region of the European part of Russia - Voronezh region, 500 km to the south of Moscow. You can easily come here by train from Moscow or with a local train from next big city Voronezh. The project is to create a voluntary center in a village next to a natural preserve "Divnogorye". The project runs since 2012 and has already hosted several international workcamps and long-term volunteers. The project is suitable for adventurous and creative volunteers who prefer to deepen into the Russian countryside. Nature around is stepps and little forests, tiny rivers and hills. This particular experience is an opportunity to live rural life still being the center of cultural and artistic life of the region. The unique place – village Divnogorye – can be translated as Wonder Mountains. Next to the village is situated a natural preserve. It includes treasures for scientists of different areas (archeologists, ornithologists, geologists and architects). Check this website - divnogor.ru - it's the natural preserve close to the residence for volunteers. Volunteers cooperate with the natural preserve, but also make local life more colourful and diverse. Volunteer residence organises workshops, festivals and artistic events, as well as ecological actions. International volunteers can come for the minimal period of 14 days, maximal for 3 months. There is always a local coordinator, who will support volunteers in the practical issues. Working time is 5-6 hours per day, the rest is free time. On weekends volunteers will go sightseeing. Course of Russian language can be organised by demand. There is a participation fee: 150 Euro for the 1st week, 80 euro for each next week. It includes meals, administrative and visa supprt, trasfers from the meeting place and local sightseeing. It DOESN'T include visa fees, travel costs and medical insurance.
