Participants work alongside the foundation’s team, assisting with ongoing projects and daily operations. Depending on current activities and participants’ interests, tasks may include:

• Assisting with interactive workshops and learning activities for different age groups.
• Preparing presentations, educational resources, and workshop materials.
• Supporting river-cleaning initiatives and local ecological activities.
• Helping coordinate exhibitions, public events, and community gatherings.
• Creating content for campaigns on water protection, biodiversity, and waste reduction.
• Engaging children and young people through creative, age-appropriate learning activities.
• Assisting with project administration, event preparation, and organisational tasks.

Activities vary according to the foundation’s projects, seasonal events, and community needs.

Experience the inner workings of a grassroots organisation and discover what it takes to turn an idea into a successful public initiative. Learn how projects are developed, resources coordinated, and partnerships built, while strengthening your creativity, initiative, and problem-solving skills in an international setting.

This placement is centred on educational activities, public outreach, and project support rather than scientific research or technical environmental monitoring. Participants should be flexible and willing to assist with both creative and administrative tasks. Outdoor activities, including river clean-ups, depend on current projects and are not guaranteed.
