🏢 About the local organisation
This camp is organized together by the Municipality of Poytya, local parish and local 4H-club. The local organisations have again joined forces to organise an international work camp in order to give local youth international experiences.
💼 What the programme involves
The theme of the camp is youth on the countryside and the volunteers will get many opportunities for intercultural encounters. Volunteers should be prepared to present their own country and its culture to local children and youth while visiting local youth houses. The volunteers will get a chance to get to know the local nature through renovating and tidying surroundings and hiking trails.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in the local Youth Centre located in same building with Nature Centre, which runs exhibitions and environmental education. Lunch will be provided by the camp host but all the other meals will be cooked together by the volunteers.
