Living Library & Book Release Party II in Belgrade


Yes, yes… the world does not end on Novi Sad! After all, every third potential Serbian volunteer lives in Belgrade! That is why Ti u akciji simply could not refuse to an opportunity of gathering in Belgrade. Our host was VEGA organization, in which Vicky is lucky to be an EVS volunteer. The organization is situated in Arka Barka Hostel and we were just astonished with the place. The building is floating on Danube, so just imagine… afternoon at Danube, with a great view to Kalamegdan Fortress by night!

Fortunately more people came to join us in admiring the great view and enjoying hot tea. Of course it did not end on staring through the windows. Soon we started workshops on Intercultural Learning and Living Library, completed with short movies from different Youth in Action projects. We gained a lot of new readers in our Volunteers’ Library. All of the Living Books were being read very carefully and with a lot of interest. Hopefully we got some readers, who will want to come back to the lecture and try to use the information in practice. In other words: GO FOR EVS! 8 letters of a one, good advise!

Suddenly from a Library we moved to a party place. It was time to start second edition of Book Releasing Party! People were coming, bringing books, taking some other books instead, more people were coming… It got really crowded in the floating hostel. Ti u akcji just took opportunity to sit, relax and watch everything going smoothly, with joining the dancing activities from time to time! Mardi Gras was close, after all!

THANK YOU to Vega for letting us to use the space and for facilitating the party. THANK YOU to all of our old and new friends, who joined us for the Library and Book Releasing! We are looking forward to see all of you again, soon!
