Volunteering Calls

The activity will take place along the central lakeside path in Geneva, Switzerland. Volunteers will experience simple field practices with a low environmental footprint while moving through a busy public space. The schedule blends practice and short explanations on safe picking, item logging, and source reduction. We start at 10:00 and work until 12:00 with a short pause. After that it is free time to rest, connect, and share photos. The aim is to care for the shoreline together and to learn how small habits prevent litter from reaching the lake. We fund gloves, bags, grabbers, and scales. We cover local public transport with a ticket or receipt. We provide water, snacks, and event insurance. We pay waste-disposal fees.
The activity will take place around the school district in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Volunteers will interact with good urban runoff practices while marking storm drains and speaking with neighbors. The schedule focuses on practical mapping and short scripts you can use during conversations. We start at 09:30 and work until 11:00 with a brief pause. After that it is free time to reflect and upload locations. The aim is to show that drains lead to the lake and to guide people to change simple habits. We fund chalk, stencils, biodegradable paint where approved, and printed outreach cards. We cover local public transport with receipt. We provide vests, a quick training, and event insurance.

The activity will take place at the north pier boat launch in Tampere, Finland. Volunteers will set up a low-impact rinse zone on grass and learn how small infrastructure changes protect water.
