Resumo: Volunteering projects taking place in a unique, as life in village and with animals has its specificity. It takes a good amount of willingness for taking responsibility of animals, other volunteers, building relationships with villagers, etc. Sometimes work is overwhelming, while in other periods there is less need. This is important to know, as life in Kuterevo is following the natural cycles and seasons.

Learning with seasons is an ESC project which will gather 4 volunteers with an aim to bring international volunteers and local people from mountainous and rural area together, for a mutual learning experience. It is designed to support young people to develop their skills and to support the hosting organization in its mission. An important aim is to strengthen young people's capacities to create their own changes.

The objectives of the project is to inspire young people to make changes in the way they live, primarily with more care and respect for the nature and people.
