The programme has for years brought together young people of Croatian origin from around the world, connecting them with the homeland of their ancestors through volunteering, educational activities and communal living.
This year's programme has attracted 24 participants from Australia, Argentina, Hungary, Spain, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Austria and the United States.
They will help improve the grounds of a vocational school, a student residence and a care home for older people. In cooperation with the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, they will also take part in cleaning the Novčica river.
Through Croatian language and culture workshops, as well as cooking classes, participants will learn about Croatia's traditions, language and cuisine.
