About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Project takes place in Kouvola, Finland in the beautiful milieu of Anjala youth centre surrounded by nature and is designed for two volunteers. ESC project is connected to daily work of Anjala Youth Centre. Volunteer`s main job is to work with youth workers planning, organizing, and instructing youth groups. Volunteer will also work with the staff from other sectors: kitchen, cleaning and janitor when there is no instructing work to do or there is need for pair of extra hands. Instructing work happens among the local youngsters in environmental school days with local classes, camp schools and other children/youth camps. That way we may offer volunteers a chance to not only learn from the finnish culture but also give something from themselves and their culture to Youth Centre`s work community and to our young customers. The volunteers are not left alone while working. Project includes also organizing spring event with ESC-team and some other special events.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is arranged at Anjala in the cozy apartment which includes living room with one double bed, upstairs bedroom with 2 beds, bathroom and kitchen. Both volunteers will be accommodated to same apartment and may make the living arrangements together. There is possibility to use also sauna, lappish hut, game room and game arena on free time. Work happens mostly in the youth center and requires no transportation. If there is need to move outside the center It will be arranged by staff of youth center. On the working days there will be served lunch in the restaurant of youth center.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
