📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
EKOenergy is an international not-for-profit ecolabel for sustainable renewable energy.
We are now looking for EVS volunteers to help us in 2018.
If you are particularly interested in 1 or more of the following issues, let us know:
- Promotion work and networking: promotion of renewable energy in general and promotion of our EKOenergy-label in particular. This means that you have to be in contact with energy companies and with energy consumers. (Mainly via phone and via Skype)
- Fishes and river ecosystems: to work on our hydropower criteria
- Layout and design: development of leaflets, brochures, webpages...
- Social media
- IT and development of webpages: to help us with the further development of our website
All tasks happen from our office in Helsinki (The office is hosted by the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto).
The volunteers will cooperate with about 7-10 other volunteers, from 10 countries.
