Activity description

Volunteers will work in Kokkola and surrounding villages in schools and kindergartens with the theme of friendship. They are going to plan and lead functional workshops about friendship and interaction skills. Volunteers work with the people they meet to think about what a good friend is like, how to maintain a friendship, and how to create friendships. Volunteers should be interested in working with people of different ages. There is no need of previous experiences, just an interest to volunteer, trying new possibilities in life and learn more is enough!
