Location: Novi Pazar

Location and Leisure: Novi Pazar is considered to be the youngest city, not because of the time of its origins, which goes far in the past, but because it has a great percentage of young people. http://www.serbia.com/visit-serbia/cities/novi-pazar-an-unusual-combination-of-eastern-and-western-culture/ Novi Pazar is a multicultural and multi-ethnic historical city in southwestern part of Serbia. The city feels different (or lets say more oriental) comparing to other cities in Serbia. Predominant religion in the city is Islam (80%), although many historical monuments from both Islam and Orthodox Christianity can be found in the city, and in the region. Ras, the capital city of the Principality of Serbia from 8th century, is found near the city and its one of four UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Serbia. An impressive group of medieval monuments consisting of fortresses, churches and monasteries show connection to the rich history of the whole region.In the free time, a field trip will be organized where the participants will get to know cultural and historical heritage of Novi Pazar. Volunteers will have trainings to learn how to communicate with elderly persons and how to take care of their needs.
