About the project

FOXHILL

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Foxhill Association maintains old industrial heritage of Kuusankoski and wants to increase community spirit and wellbeing of people by common action. It is a voluntary association preserving the area of wooden buildings where factory workers used to live. The aim is to keep the cultural and natural heritage alive by organising community events, there is e.g. a summer cafe, petting zoo, amateur theatre. This is the second time they host a work camp after a very positive experience last year and the local community is waiting for international volunteers.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will assist in different tasks such as organising activities for children. Renovation and other maintaining tasks with traditional methods will be carried out during the camp. They use an interesting building method using reed and volunteers can take part in that. If you like nature and old buildings this is a place for you.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be in small wooden building. The volunteers will prepare their meals together.

📍 About the location

Kuusankoski is a small town next to Kouvola about 130 km north-east from Helsinki. The camp is in a forest on top of the hill in the middle of Kuusankoski town.

⚠️ Requirements

The volunteers need travel insurance for the duration of their stay. Registration fee 50 euros.
