🏢 About the local organisation
Evijärvi is a small municipality with a bit over 2500 habitants. The municipality wants to encourage the local villages to create international contacts and inspire the locals to be active in the community by offering a small fund for the local associations and villages to host a part of an international workcamp. Thus, the official camp host and the funder is the municipality but the work will be managed by the local associations such as local youth organisations, local museum and cultural heritage association and the Lutheran parish. Due to the wide co-operation, the workcamp offers a great opportunity to the volunteers to have a deep dive into the local traditions and history as well as meeting the locals from all ages.
💼 What the programme involves
Mainly different kinds of manual maintenance work and clearing the surroundings type of tasks, as well as assisting in organising small one-day events such as Open doors Day in the local museum and Traditional Games Day for the local youth. In addition, the volunteers may help with translating the texts for visitors of the museums and other sites into their own languages. There will be several different work locations and sites, depending on which association will be responsible for the work each day.
🏠 Accommodation on site
