Resumo: (people with special needs and agricultural work)
The hosting organization is a village community providing accommodation and work activities for adults with special needs. We are part of the international movement which was established to create participatory and inclusive communities for people with special needs, like learning disabilities.
The community members cooperate and work together to share the different tasks, such as household tasks, arts&crafts workshop activities, gardening, and ecological farming. In the Communities, each person contributes according to their abilities toward the well-being of their fellows. The community is based on general Christian values and principles.
The work of the community consists of biodynamic agriculture, animal care, gardening, packing of agricultural products, and weavery and handicrafts workshops. All work is done together with adults with special needs.

It is important to be motivated to live in the countryside and is interested in working with people with special needs. Interest in a communal way of living and nature is also helpful.
Tarefas: The volunteers will help with all the activities of the community according to their skills and abilities. The volunteers will socialize and co-work with the people with special needs and support them in the community’s daily functions and in practical tasks like cooking and cleaning. The volunteers can also introduce their own cultural background and language to the members of the community. Life in the community changes according to the seasons, and so do the tasks of the volunteers as well. From spring to autumn, there is a lot of agricultural work and in the winter, there is more work in the workshops.
Condições: The meals and accommodation are provided by the community. The volunteers have their own room in one of community’s three houses. The volunteers share the kitchen and hygienic facilities with the other community members.
The volunteers live and work at the community, so they don’t need to commute daily. The community is situated in the countryside, and there is no public local transport nearby – the nearest bus stop is at about 7 km distance. The volunteers will get reimbursement for one weekly return trip to the nearest city, Lahti. Also, the staff will give the volunteers a lift whenever possible.
