BECOME ECO AMBASSADOR!

Waste is a massive problem and the importance of waste segregation is something that we can no longer afford to ignore. The less rubbish we generate the less we’ll pollute the environment. Project Serbia into the future means promoting a greener Serbia. As an Eco Ambassador, you can be part of a goal-oriented network aimed at disseminating messages environmentally friendly and in particular related to the campaign aiming at introducing the new waste source separation system in Serbia. The volunteers will also be able to report about local issues or best practices and information from the ground. In order to support the information campaign, it will be crucial to engage all citizens. The process might be facilitated if some smart “pioneers” like you will engage other colleagues in a peer to peer communication.

WHO MAY APPLY?

1. The candidate must be at least 18 years old and a citizen of the Republic of Serbia;

2. Be fluent in Serbian. English is an advantage;

3. Willing to act as a volunteer for a greener Serbia;

4. Any previous experience related to environmental issues will be an asset;

5. The candidate must be willing to work in a team with other volunteers: volunteers are expected to be proactive, engaged, and enthusiastic, individually as well as in the group;

6. The candidate must be willing to learn more about Serbia’s status on recycling and have knowledge of the topic;

7. The candidate must be able to attend meetings (online or in person) at least once a month;
