📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Rovaniemi is a small city of approx 60 000 inhabitants, situated in the Arctic Circle in Finland. It is quite lively and active for its size, thanks to its status as Lapland’s capital. Rovaniemi City Youth Services is a department in the municipal public organization. The municipal youth services consist of a variety of activities which all share the common aim to offer the youngsters equal and high quality possibilities of participation and sense of belonging to the community. Volunteers will work at Cultural house Monde. Work includes café work (attending clients, baking and cleaning) and volunteers will also organize small-scale activities e.g. handicrafts or other workshops that can be attended by the clients of the Monde. We want to help the people of Rovaniemi to experience a sense of community when participating in the activities organized by the volunteers. It is also important to raise awareness among the local youngsters about the European Solidarity Corps program.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The travel to Rovaniemi and back home after the project as well as housing, food allowance and pocket money are covered by the project fund. The housing is organized in an apartment shared by other volunteers. The food and pocket money are paid at the end of each month to a Finnish bank account. The residence permit and the insurance are covered by the project fund. The volunteers get a prepaid phone card. They also have free wifi in their apartment.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We will select a sociable and rather independent young adult interested in the project themes. English language is necessary to adapt to the work organization and the local community. Since they will live in a shared flat, they should be rather tolerant and flexible with different people. It is an advantage, if the volunteers have some personal interest or hobby, that may be useful in the project activities.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/05/2022
