Living Library in Belgrade
This is an invitation to a Living Library Workshop on voluntarism and intercultural learning, aimed especially for young people who are interested in volunteering abroad!
For details about place and time see the poster below.
So, what is a Living Library exactly?
Living Library is an interactive way of learning. That is, speaking with Living Books-persons who are there to answer to your curiosity on a subject they have some experience! The Living Books in this case will be current long-term volunteers in Serbia who will be leading the workshop.
During the workshop through games, energizers and discussions we introduce the participants to the idea of intercultural learning and voluntarism.
Informal atmosphere and a cup of hot tea are perfect companions for getting to know more details about possibilities and procedures leading to becoming a volunteer abroad. Every Living Book says a different story: about Youth Exchanges, coping with cultural shock, human rights and peace education, workcamps, environmental protection and many more. Just come, join us for a tea, open a book on whatever page you wish and find your perfect lecture! See you there!

BOOK YOUR TIME FOR A BOOK
"So, what is it all about?" someone asked. "Well, it's a network for exchanging books. You leave your book in any place you like, so that someone can find it, read it and release again. Then another person finds it, and so on, so the book lives the life of it's own." one of Ti u akciji members is repeating the fixed and memorized by heart explanation. "Hm, it won't work here. You've chosen wrong place for action like that." answers the skeptical participant of The Book Releasing Party.
Will it work or not? – it's too late for that discussion, as the BRP is going with full steam already! On our own backs we brought more than 100 books to Stara Frida to put them on the tables all around the place. Each book has a hand written note inside, explaining what BookXing is about and informing, that the book can be registered at www.bookcrossing.com. Our books freshly joined the programme, but we hope that soon we will get surprised when checking their itinerary! So wherever you go, please, remember to take one paper friend with you, to let it live the journey of it's life! Don't let them get lost in the depths of your drawer, let them be free!
The party lasted until 3 a.m. For this we would sincerely want to thank to our friends, old ones and new ones, who joined us for this event. Of course Stara Frida team deserves a great hug and thank you for lending us the space and for staying with us until the last book! And let's not forget Environmental Engineering Group that helped a lot with promotion of the event.
We were working a lot through days before the BRP, and this meeting was a great opportunity to relax and simply enjoy watching the books disappearing. Books in Serbian, Hungarian, English. We even had one book from Greek BookCrossing community! Novels, poetry, guides, handbooks, for children, for adults, about life, love, about everything and about nothing. It's just impossible not to find something perfectly suitable for yourself! Maybe one day we'll meet some of the books again. In the coffee house, city park or a bus, or maybe it's the last time we saw each other. But still it was a pleasure for us to be a part of their story!
Of course none of this could happen without people and institutions who shared their books with us! Great thanks to Hellena, Ida and Milovan from Volunteers' Centre of Vojvodina as well as Students' Culture Centre of Novi Sad (especially to Pecinko) and Matica Srpska (Rasha in particular!). And one anonymous donor, who brought Macbeth directly to the party. We are really grateful for your support!
And hopefully it was just first of the whole series of similar events. All over Novi Sad, in Sremski Karlovci, Futog, Becej, Subotica, Sombor, Temerin, Zrenjanin, Kikinda... list is getting longer and longer! So remember: READ and RELEASE!!!

The Living Library in Centar za razvoj karijere i savetovanje studenata
First of all, THANKS TO THE CENTAR ZA RAZVOJ KARIJERE I SAVETOVANJE STUDENATA for providing us the space and STUDENTI KULTURNI CENTAR for helping us to contact the Centar za razvoj Karijere i savetovanje studenata.
Then thanks to all the participants of the Living Library for their interest and their active participation.
It was a nice time that we spent together exchanging about the Youth In Action programme and non-formal learning.
We began the session by knowing each others with a name game to get to know the name and to create a nice atmosphere in the group to continue the session...
Some short movies were displayed about Youth In Action (YIA) programme, about Youth Exchange (YE) and European Voluntary Service (EVS), movies made by the youth... to get acknowledge on the different activities of the programme.
And as well, some queries about YIA programme, a funny way to understand more about it. The participants were divided in 2 groups to answer the queries, we use this way to have an opportunity to give them some information about the YIA programme and the EVS.
A short presentation of the YIA programme to detail it and to answer the queries...
All these games were made to interact and learn from each others.
And then the Living Library where we were all, "Ti u akciji" members a differents, then see below:

Living Library is a fusion of non-formal education and a non-formal conversation. An invitation for a small group or eye to eye discussions between participants and Living Books (that means long-term volunteers leading the workshops). Informal atmosphere and a cup of hot tea are perfect companions for getting to know more details about possibilities and procedures leading to becoming a volunteer abroad. Every Living Book says a different story: about Youth Exchanges, coping with cultural shock, human rights and peace education, workcamps, environmental protection and many more.
