📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join our vibrant team of 12 volunteers at Marttinen Youth Centre for an exhilarating 24-day ESC project dedicated to creating a Snow Art Festival and enhancing facilities for youth. This immersive experience invites volunteers to contribute to the local community, fostering creativity, inclusivity, and community engagement. Key project tasks include: Snow Art Festival: Collaborate with Marttinen's creative team to plan and execute a Snow Art Festival. Volunteers will engage in designing captivating snow sculptures, organizing art workshops, and hosting an inclusive event with open doors for families, young people, and children from the local community. Personal Projects: Volunteers will embark on personal projects aimed at improving Marttinen's facilities and activities for young people. From enhancing recreational spaces to implementing innovative programs, each volunteer will have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the youth center.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will reside in comfortable shared accommodation at Marttinen's youth center, fostering a sense of community living. Each volunteer will have their private space to relax and recharge. Marttinen will provide nourishing meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring volunteers are energized for their daily activities. Travel expenses for approved flight arrangements will be reimbursed. Volunteers, in collaboration with their support organization, will be responsible for securing suitable flights within the project's specified dates and budget.

One pre-departure meetings will take place between Marttinen's international youth work team, the sending organization, and volunteers.

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).
