DINOSAUROCK

MIKKELI, Finland


Description of the Work

The volunteers will assist in building a festival called DinosauRock in Mikkeli. During the festival there will be various tasks such as keeping the area tidy, but also free time to enjoy the interesting festival program. After the festival there will also be work dismantling the festival. Please note that the volunteers are expected to do physical work outdoors in all weather conditions.


Location & Leisure

The festival and the camp are held in the town of Mikkeli, next to the largest lake in Finland, Saimaa. The camping resort Visulahti is mostly a summer destination for families that also has an aquatic park. There will be a possibility to go swimming and discover the local nature.


Requirements

The volunteers need travel insurance for the duration of their stay.


Host Organization

Allianssi Youth Exchanges promotes intercultural learning and global understanding. Our aim is to give young people a chance to do concrete work with others from different backgrounds and ethnic origins. The work in our camps is very often manual like painting, renovating, organising events and activities or working in environmental or cultural heritage tasks. The camps enable iintercultural learning between the volunteers and the hosting community. No special skills are required. Acommodation is basic shared accommodation and meals are cooked together. Most camps are arranged in small communities in beautiful Finnish countryside.
