In August, Ada Huja on the banks of the Danube will be the venue for an exciting new ecology festival – Zeleni Prozor. Organised by "OSMEH" (Organizacija za Solidarnost, Mobilnost, Ekologiju i Humanost za mladih) and local partners, and supported by the City of Belgrade (sector for NGO collaboration), the festival will run for four days, from 9 – 12 August 2010.

Each day will be dedicated to one of the four natural elements – air, earth, water and fire. There will be a mixture of educational workshops guided by experts in the field of ecology, and artistic workshops where you can make all sorts of art, crafts, and even instruments from recycled materials that will be collected in the municipality of Palilula in the run up to the festival.

Participants will have the chance to take part in informal round table discussions about the enviroment, to discuss the current state of ecology, and see how the situation can be improved by looking round a real-life eco-house!

Ongoing during the festival will be an info point where you can find out all you need to know about the festival, ecology and the environment, and NGOs from local to international level. For creative people, there will also be an exhibition of art made from recycled materials, where you can see exactly what can be done with the stuff you usually throw away!

Each evening in the open air cinema, films will be shown that are connected with ecology or with the topic of the day.

The last evening of the festival will be celebrating International Youth Day and the contributions of young people. There will be live DJs and performances, and sparks will fly during the fire show!

With all this and much more going on, you’d be mad to miss out. All ages are welcome, and best of all, it’s completely free! So head down to Ada Huja from 15h everyday, and get involved in the eco-action!
