About the project
Rural youth work in Northern Finland, with a hint of Christmas
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
💼 What the programme involves
Local Action Group (LAG) Nouseva Rannikkoseutu develops rural areas across seven municipalities (with altogether 54 000 inhabitants) in Northern Finland. In this project two (2) volunteers will work with young people in the municipalities of Liminka (1. – 28.10.) and Pyhäjoki (29.10. – 7.12.). Volunteers will participate in the local youth work: joining youth clubs, youth workshops etc. They will also participate in activities organised by LAG Nouseva Rannikkoseutu. Volunteers will be planning and organising events and workshops for and with local youth. In Pyhäjoki, the volunteers will be participating in the planning and execution of an event which celebrates the start of the Christmas season.
The project will start once funding is confirmed by the national agency.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be arranged in rental apartments (organizers will help in the renting process). Volunteers will need to cook for themselves (allowance will be provided).
Within the municipalities distances are short: venues are mainly reachable by boot. If needed, car transportation can be negotiated. When the volunteers move to another municipality, transportation will be provided if necessary.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will participate in a on-arrival training. The volunteers can also get training for Finnish language.
Volunteers are guided to all tasks which provides great learning opportunities. They will also have the opportunity to do job-shadowing with different professionals of rural development.
⚠️ Requirements
Belgian or French volunteer required
Application deadline : 29-06-2018
We would like to receive volunteers who are motivated to work with children and young people. Working hours will change according to tasks, so volunteers need to be flexible.
Volunteers must be prepared to live in rural environment and in Finnish winter conditions.
