About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Architecture and environmental culture school Lastu is an art and construction activity center in Lapinlahti and it was founded in 1993. Lastu's mission is to support and develop architectural and environmental cultural education and promote the appreciation, understanding and nurturing of old and newer built cultural heritage. The volunteers get to work with a variety of different tasks. For participants interested in renovation, one of the main tasks will be to help renovate an old smoke sauna that unfortunately got burned and will be turned into a more common type of sauna. The renovation includes different tasks, such as cleaning the interior, repairing ceiling, and preparing the wood material. The volunteers can also work with different seasonal tasks outdoors, help to prepare and lead a building camp for children, and help to organize a traditional children’s event called Vasikkasavut as well as working at the event.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation is organized indoors as communal living in buildings outside and/or classrooms. if you want, you can also sleep in a tent. The volunteers have access to toilets, showers, and kitchen and they will cook meals together.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This volunteer team suits well for people interested in experiencing the beautiful Finnish nature in a rural environment. The host organization is looking for volunteers who are interested in either renovating, working with children, or event organizing.
Deadline: Application deadline: 02/05/2023

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).
