The host organization Ikko is a modern, non-political and non-religious folk high school offering both general and vocational education for Finnish and international students and groups throughout the year. They also host special target groups such as students with special needs as well as young asylum seekers. In this project you are working to progress the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by learning to live healthy and live in harmony with the nature (SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being).

💼 What the programme involves

The school surroundings need maintaining so the volunteers will work with seasonal tasks indoors and outdoors.

Please note that this is not a traditional work camp and the tasks vary by the season.
