The 11-month long EVS project was hosted by Hyvärilä Youth Centre in Nurmes, North Karelia From August 2014 - June 2015. Two volunteers from Greece and Czech Republic participated learning about youth work in Finland, working with young people and children in local schools and kindergarden, at the ?Apaja Nuortenpaja? ? a workshop for unemployed youngsters, the local youth house, the afternoon club and visiting regional schools ? a place to socialise for elderly people. The main tasks were instructing International Hours and supporting the teachers, guiding workshops, getting to know nature- and environmental education and helping during the camp schools at Hyvärilä. Volunteers also worked with the youngsters at the youth workshop as well as interacting with finnish young people at the youth house and the local kindergarden. Other tasks will be the work with children at the afternoon club visiting schools in the region. The "internationalization" of the locals was one of the main goals, volunteers have also promote EVS at different local events to familiarise all sorts of people from the region with the opportunities of European Voluntary Work.
