Culture and Creativity in North Karelia
NUORISO- JA MATKAILUKESKUS HYVARILAOY
Nurmes, Finska
Opis
Join Hyvärilä youth centre team for 2 months to explore local culture and interpret it in a creative way by creating a new program for youth - a digital game that would combine introduction to Hyvärilä youth centre and local cultural elements for youth aged 13-25. During the project volunteers will explore both cultural and natural heritage of North Karelia and basics of adventure education and youth centre pedagogical approaches. Volunteers will create and pilot a digital online game for youth as the result of their project.
