Green Week volunteering team
NUORISO- JA MATKAILUKESKUS HYVARILAOY
NURMES, Финландия
Описание
An opportunity for young people who are concerned about sustainability and want to act on it. Volunteers will organize a series of workshops for the local community in Nurmes, Eastern Finland. They will also learn how Hyvärilä youth centre as Green Key certified destination reduces the negative impact of tourism. We are looking for young people who are eager to raise awareness via social media channels and workshops, who are ready to share their tips on being sustainable, and organize workshops and activities for the local community: everyone from little children to seniors. Volunteers work 30-35 hours per week with two days off. Tasks involve multiple activities and places so you can see a comprehensive image of the rural North Karelian community. Get ready to learn about sustainable tourism and biodiversity, do upcycling workshops, run a social media environmental campaign, meet local community members of all ages and organize activities with them.
Настаняване, хранене и транспорт
Volunteers stay in Hyvärilä youth centre on the shore of lake Pielinen, surrounded by forest and water. Accommodation in a youth hostel, 2-3 pers per room with shared bathrooms and showers, and a living room. Most meals are served at the restaurant of the youth centre. Some dinners are cooked by volunteers for the whole group in shifts. Prepare to cook food for your teammates at least once! Volunteers clean their own rooms.
