Περιγραφή
Kekri is an autumn festival of harvest, transitioning from summer and light to winter and darkness in Eastern Finland. It is a time for cooking traditional and local food, bringing community and generations together, remembering ancestors and celebrating light. Volunteers explore the Finnish culture and nature, sustainability, creativity and work with the local community of different age groups from children to elderly people. The activities vary from learning about traditional harvest season foods and cooking and to creativity and video-making activities, recycling and crafts, and meeting local community members and organizing activities with them (schools, elderly home and museums). Volunteers will work 30-35 hours per week with two days off.
