About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The papermill in Lessebo offers a wide range of courses, seminars and workshops. The volunteers are supposed to assist with exhibitions, guided tours, develop more interesting activities in connection to the building, the art and the handicraft as well as the history of the place. Most of the planned volunteer tasks at the paper mill are based on informal learning. The volunteers will by watching others and trying themselves learn many different things within leadership, organization, handicrafts, arts, knowledge about "studieförbund" and how to make your own paper and calligraphy. By being in a factory environment, the volunteers will also get a perspective and knowledge about how it is to run a factory and a small scale company in the countryside.
