With ConneXt - Building My Stage we want to walk the talk. Together, we will learn how to build structures with natural materials and talk about possibilities to connect art and nature, culture and the countryside.
Are there compost toilets that don't stink? Houses made of clay and straw that don't burn? An artists' residence in the forest?
If you like to meet a new culture and get in touch with different viewpoints, stories and ideas, if you like to be part of a new network of alternative entrepreneurs from Serbia and Switzerland, this youth exchange is for you!

Sneak Peak into the Program
With the Building Units, different building systems of sustainable architecture such as compost toilets or clay stoves are discussed and put into practice. These workshops are accompanied by the expert engineer Lehel Horvat as well as the architects Dragana Kojicic and Andrea Sabo.
In the Culture Points we want to explore with you how it is possible to combine nature with art and create a cultural centre in the countryside.
The Group Games are the playful bonding agent of the two program points. Next to games from the theatre world or Capture The Flag matches in the forest we will encounter the cultural differences and similarities of both countries.
Re-Creative Islands round off the offer. Here, the adjacent forest, the nearby lake, or the easily accessible city of Novi Sad are of importance. This time can be freely arranged in creative, recreational and social terms.
