Descrierea organizației

Etelä-Pohjanmaan Opisto (South Ostrobothnia Folk High School) is an international adult education centre in Ilmajoki. Our 130 years old institute is located in a rural setting, four kilometers away from the center of Ilmajoki.
Our school offers full time studies in culture, open university, liberal adult education in both general education and vocational education and training. Our school offers both long-term study programmes and short courses.
Every year over 400 students attend our different study programmes. International students of more than fifteen different nationalities bring the richness of different cultures to college life.
At Etelä-Pohjanmaan Opisto, a volunteer is part of the community and may work in various roles depending on their own learning objectives. A volunteer can work as an equal member of the work community in various learning environments within the core activities of the college.
The volunteers can work according to their own skills for instance as a supervisor for students' evening and leisure activities. The volunteer is supported by the college community worker and teachers performing evening supervision. We also offer for example the opportunity to participate in kitchen and cleaning work, as well as property and environmental maintenance.
