📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

***Please note! To apply for the volunteering position, you must download, fill in and send to [email protected] the application form available on the webpage https://maailmanvaihto.fi/en/volunteer-in-finland/esc-available-projects*** KISÄLLI-HARJULANMÄKI has two main activities: a nursing home called “Harjulanmäki” for people with mental disabilities and a workshop called “Kisälli”, which provides art and work therapy for people with disabilities. Kisälli produces in the workshop handicraft products of high quality. Kisälli collaborates with artists and designers. The volunteers support people with disabilities in their daily activities at the Kisälli arts & crafts workshop, where the main activity is weaving, and sometimes also at the Harjulanmäki home. The work includes both artistic work and practical personal assisting, for example, support with the meals and daily hygiene.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be accommodated in an apartment together with another volunteer in Vihti. The volunteers will be working and living together with each other, so good cooperation skills are needed. The lunch on workdays is provided by Kisälli. Other meals are prepared by the volunteer, but the costs are covered by the hosting organization. There is no local transportation in Vihti, so the volunteer will either walk or ride a bicycle between the apartment, the Kisälli workshop, and Harjulanmäki. The volunteer will get one weekly return trip reimbursed between Vihti and Helsinki.
