Beskrivelse
!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Lehtimäki Special Folk High School (Lehtimäen opisto) is a boarding school for youth and adults with special needs. We offer 70–80 places for students, and there are about 40 different short-term courses for youth, adults, and elderly with disabilities and their families. We offer rehabilitation courses, such as riding therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Some training is aimed at increasing the occupational capacities of the students, through computer literacy training, for example. Our school builds its activities around values of respecting individuality and uniqueness of people, equality among people, participation, safety, community, and lifelong learning.
Logi, mad og transport
The volunteers will live in an apartment in the campus area. It may be that the volunteer will be sharing the apartment with people of different gender. Meals are provided by the school restaurant. When the restaurant is closed during weekends and holidays, the volunteers will receive a food package. Lehtimäki is situated in the countryside. The only public transportation nearby is one bus during the weekends to the nearest city Seinäjoki. The volunteers will get reimbursement for one weekly return trip between Seinäjoki and Lehtimäki.
