ALPO SAVANNAH EYA
Code: ALLI07 | Location: Finland
Description of the Work
The participants will clear and tidy the environment and separate waste materials such as plastic, metal, textiles for future use or for recycling. One day volunteers will have a workshop on how to make art from recycled materials. The topic of Energy transition will be shared and discussed and there will be some interesting visits to local energy sources such as fuel peat producers who are changing their activities from fuel peat to more sustainable options.
Location & Leisure
The Alpo savannah is located in a rural setting in the village of Nummijarvi far from shopping centers and city life, but with great surrounding nature. Finnish idyll at its best. The volunteers will be staying in the middle of the forest where the silence and peace are tangible and the mushrooms and berries are within reach. The host will provide bikes for the volunteers to move around during the camp. You will have a chance to visit nearby national parks and a local festival. The nearest town Kauhajoki is 30 kilometers away and all the important services can be found there.
Requirements
The volunteers need travel insurance for the duration of their stay. The EYA project is primarily targeted to European volunteers. Volunteers traveling by land (bus or train) for most of their journey will be eligible for a travel grant up to 100euro.
