Description
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.

They will create and pilot a program for youth as the result of their project.
