📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Mullsjö folk high school is a folk high school formed on the Scandinavian philosophy of using non-formal methodology, which host adult students studying regular high schools subjects, as well as thematic courses, such as art, music or sports. Mullsjö folk high school has got an international profile and one of their motivations to host volunteers is to continue our development as an international meeting point.
The students of the school run a small fair trade shop where the students sell gifts and handcrafts. It is open daily in the mornings during the coffee-break. Along with their work for fair trade, the school is also certified by the government for environmental awareness. The school has a library and an indoor sports hall and the volunteers are free to use these facilities. The students play sports etc. on their leisure time and the volunteers are welcome to join the different student activities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Normally the volunteers live at the boarding school, and therefore it is usually requested, both from volunteers and students, to have common activities. Food is included during the weekdays, in the weekends you are free to arrange your own meals or eat together in the house. This includes arrangements of sport and cultural events like tournaments, movie evenings, exhibitions etc. There are many examples of previous volunteers who have been involved in organising school trips. Since the school has a wide field of activities and many contacts, there are also other opportunities for tasks to do.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers’ activities will depend on their background, interests and wishes, as well as the current conditions and possibilities of the project. The volunteer will work with a few main areas:
- work with the fair trade shop
