About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The host organisation Kasvajat aims at promoting the wellbeing of individuals, communities and whole society. It works to change attitudes towards mental wellbeing. Stockfors is a former industrial area with historical buildings which is being converted to a wellness village by local active people. They want everyone to feel welcome and are committed to growth as a person. The volunteers will help with gardening, cleaning halls, preparing the whole area for the summer activities such as art exhibition, summer shop, cafe. The volunteers will assist in many practical tasks such as moving furniture and doing some construction work etc. to maintain and tidy the area for the summer. The volunteers should be ready to do a variety of tasks including physical work and get their hands dirty, but no special skills are required.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is organized in a shared accommodation in the attic which is in summer use. Every volunteer has their own nook with mattress, blanket and pillow. There is a bathroom, sauna and kitchen in the same building. During events volunteers are able to eat the food that our chef cooks and on other days we will make sure that volunteers have everything needed to cook their own meals. The food will be mainly vegetarian. Stockfors is located in Pyhtaa, which is located about 90 minutes from Helsinki. The hosts will pick up the volunteers from the bus stop.

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).
