  Descrição

  Hello !!
  We are 2 French students (23 and 24 years old), doing a 6 months internship in Montenegro. We are conducting a research project, as our master thesis, about the agriculture of a Montenegrin mountain named Sinjajevina.
  The aim is to understand the history and the current practices of farmers, and it is based essentially on fieldwork and interviews.
  As we don't speak (yet !) Montenegrin language, we need somebody to come with us on the field to translate from Montenegrin/Serbian language to English (or French).
  
  How can it be a super cool week for you (and what it involves) ? :)
  - The farmers practice a very traditional agriculture : they go on Sinjajevina mountain with their livestock only during summer, and live in traditional settlements named katuns. It is a unique opportunity to share with those people and discover their way of life.
  - Some katuns are not accessible by car. We are planning to spend 2 or 3 days in the mountain, to reach several of them in a row. So if you like adventures, like walking a few hours per day from one Katun to another, sleeping in a tent, we are waiting for you !
  - We already have most of the equipment : a car to go up to the mountain, the tent... The only things you need are a mattress and a sleeping bag !
  - We are living in Kolasin. We rent a house there where you will have you own room (for the nights when we are not camping in the mountains)
  - We can provide the food for the all week
  - We offer a compensation of 40€ by cash for each day of translation. For 1 week here, we will go 5 days on the field, and offer you 200€.
  - And last but not least, we are super cool :)
  
  So if you speak good Montenegrin/Serbian and English, love the mountain, and are willing to go on a adventure, this could be perfect ^^

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are passionate by the Balkans, and are currently trying to learn Montenegrin/Serbian language. We are always super happy to exchange about it.
  We can also share about French culture, and, of course, you will learn a lot about agriculture !

  Ajuda

  You will come with us on the field, to translate.
  We find farmers who are willing to talk to us, and then we conduct interview : you will have to translate our questions from English to Serbian/Montenegrin, and the answers the other way around. Don’t worry ! You don’t have to know the technical vocabulary of agriculture as we already know the terms in Montenegrin/Serbian.
  
  Usually, we do 2 interviews / day, 1 per half day, and they last around 1h30-2h. It can be more interviews if they are shorter.
