Samobor

Samobor is a city located in Croatia near Zagreb, part of our project agenda was to visit the city and learn things about it. We met in the moring and grabbed some snacks and also each of us had an orange that we were supposed to trade with someone for information about the town.

We got to the centre through the wood shortcuts and there we started gathering knowledge while drinking coffe and enyoing the sunny day.

The locals were friendly to share information so that we could complete our tasks to answer the questions given to us.

Samobor has a lot of hidden gems like its famous dessert Crame Šnita and Razom the beer brewery. In the center of Samobor square is the Tomislovan Trg filled with beauful caffe bars. The name of Samobor river is Grabna. People of Samobor gather on Saturday on a bazzar that is called Samište. One of the more interesting people born in Samobor in Ferdo Livadič who was a croatian composer that contributed to cultral renewal. The battle of Samobor happened in 1st of March 1441 it was fought between forces of Urič 2 of Celje and Stjepan Bonič in Samobor which was then the Kingdom of Slavonia within the Kingdom of Hungary. The last family living in Samobor were Montechocoli who were Italians.

We finish the mission with a walk to the famous Samobor castle where we saw the old ruins and rooms while also enjoying the sight.

Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

Volunteering and what we can gain from it

We were brainstorming and came up with many areas of volunteering.  It can be done in NGOs /non governmental organization/, environmental organizations, health care centers, rescue centres, community centres, orphanages, festivals, events, etc. Most common activities can be cleaning the nature, building or renovating public places, harvesting crops, teaching, taking care of the disabled, old or sick, running a bio farm, etc. We also can be volunteering inside in offices to help small businesses or non-profit organizations, organizing summer camps for kids, helping in red cross, public libraries, organizing clothes or book swaps, helping in animal shelters or helping with some events for example concerts or charity gatherings.
