About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project offers a 2-month volunteer placement in Hyvärilàyouth centre on the shore of beautiful lake Pielinen. Volunteers have a creative task to interpret local culture through art and help in preparation of Campton - an event that brings camp school stakeholders to Hyvärilàyouth centre to explore non-formal learning and environmental learning. We support learning and work every step of the way. A friendly and safe environment of Hyvärilàand beautiful nature around it creates an experience of a lifetime. Volunteer placement gives practical work experience and help to learn about the ways to develop professionally, make international connections and learn about other cultures.

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).
