Resumo: The hosting organization is a Finnish environmental organization founded in 1995. The organization addresses environmental issues societally, without unnecessary simplification. From the dining table, city bike ride or an adventure holiday, there is a short way to global environmental issues. Current key operation areas are urban gardening and food, urban planning and building, climate action and global development.

The organization works under the parol Seeds for Urban Change and aims to turn urbanization into an answer to global environmental problems and motivate people to come up with solutions themselves.

The organization's activities are open to everyone. A large proportion of those who participate in activities and events are young students. The organization aims to be a sandbox of thoughts where new ideas flow and evolve. An encouraging atmosphere and a courageous attitude towards sharing new views and own ideas empower people of all ages to participate in the development of their own environment, in solving global environmental problems, and in the development of the organization.

Regular activities include meetings of the different action groups and Urban Dinner events where a meal is prepared together from waste food and harvest of our urban garden. After the dinner there is a discussion, workshop or movie screening on a topic that futhers the organization’s aim.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

We hope that the volunteer is motivated, self-driven, has good communication skills, is co-operative, works well in teams and is interested in the scope of activities that the organization runs. An intermediate to upper-intermediate level of English is required. The volunteer should be motivated to learn, to adapt, to propose ideas, take initiative, work independently and be open to discover other cultures and different ways of doing things. A desire to participate actively in the project, pro activity, enthusiasm, eagerness and a desire for involvement are all necessary in order to ensure both the project and the volunteer will reach their full potential.
We believe that the volunteer would get more out of their volunteer period with some time in higher education already, but that is not a must, as there are also more practical tasks that the volunteer could work with, like building and maintenance of the urban gardening center. All the organization’s communication is in both English and Finnish, which makes it easy for a person knowledgeable in English to take part in all activities. The bilingual communication can also help the volunteer to learn some Finnish.

Tarefas: The main task of the volunteer would be to help the employees. This includes tasks in urban gardening, communications, event planning and arrangement and office maintenance.
At the Urban Dinners the volunteer can choose to work in the kitchen or in the garden and may also prepare discussions and workshops for the Urban Dinner events. The volunteer will also take part in the organization’s Erasmus+ projects.

Condições: You will be accommodated in a shared apartment within good public transportation connections and you will have your own room. You will receive food money to buy groceries and cook food for yourself. Your public transport tickets will be reimbursed, after registration in Finland you can buy a monthly ticket.
