Descrierea organizației

Metsäkartano is one of nine Finnish Youth Centres specialised in youth work. Our function is to develop the methods used in the field of youth work, to further the skills of the youth, and to enable young people’s travelling domestically and abroad. We are supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture and we follow the current Youth Act and Youth Policy Programme.

As a Youth Centre the purpose of Metsäkartano is to promote international youth co-operation, non-formal education and environmental education. We offer a safe and secure environment for camps, courses, trainings and activities - 365 days a year. Our facilities are designed for the youth and the premises are in the heart of the beautiful Finnish nature.

We want to empower kids and young people in various ways, mainly by organising over night camps, youth exchanges, voluntary service opportunities and social youth work camps, camp schools and family camps.

Metsäkartano has strong responsible and sustainable values, which are visible in our everyday actions. The basis of our work is at environmental education and experiential learning - and exploring the great outdoors. We want to create opportunities for people to get stronger connection with themselves and the nature. We have made connecting with the nature easy as possible, since our learning environment is the Finnish nature. We are awarded as a social enterprise, as we target our profits for promoting our youth work.
