NURMES, Finland
Beskrivelse
Volunteers come to Hyvärilä youth centre for 2 months to explore local culture and interpret it in a creative way by creating a new program for youth based on Karelia.Finnish epics Kalevala. Volunteers utilize a nearby movie set in order to create an engaging program for young people aged 13-25 who visit Hyvärilä youth centre. During the project volunteers will explore both cultural and natural heritage of North Karelia and basics of adventure education and youth centre pedagogical approaches. They will create and pilot a program for youth as the result of their project. The project is taking place during the coldest months of the year, but we have some warm clothes you can borrow and a cosy home for you to stay in with your teammates. A total of 4 volunteers will be selected for the project.
