About the project

ESC: Long-term volunteer to Cultural Collective Kukoistus, Finland

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Cultural Collective Kukoistus is located at the Korkeaoja village in the Western part of Finland, some 40km from the coastline. Kukoistus is a small community of artists and cultural workers that have established working and social spaces in Finnish countryside around Korkeaoja ecological farm. We are looking for a long-term volunteer starting between 1.8.2023-1.10.2023 and finishing between 31.5.2023 - 31.8.2023. We prefer applicants that could start already in early August. Besides volunteer's own individual creative work the tasks will include event production, house maintenance (cleaning and all sorts of care taking) etc.You will also need to be able to take on physichal work tasks that vary from gardening, farming to construction work and maintenance. This work might be physically demanding and rough. Taking care of the animals (like cats and dogs, maybe horses and chicken) also is needed, so we hope you have a positive attitude towards all sorts of beings.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accomodation is in a shared farm house in Finnish countryside. The toilets, sauna and kitchen are shared, but volunteers have their own rooms. Next to the house there is a barn that we have renovated for cultural / event purposes. There is a small family of three persons currently living in the upstairs of the house. There also is a cat and occationally the neighbours dog visits the house. There is a possibility to share food/ dinners depending on personal diets and habits. We pay foodmoney, which makes it possible for you to decide on how to arrange your eating

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: More than skills, we appreciate proactiveness, positivity and social skills. Since a lot of the work is very practical and done in outside cicumstances, we also appreciate practical skills like handeling tools etc. but what you don't know, we will also teach you. It's important that you have self driven motivation to do creative work and are able to organize your life. Since there are only little public transport facilities available, it's important to either have your own driver's licence or be active in communicating to organize your rides by participating in shared ride groups.
Deadline: Application deadline: 06/07/2023

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
