Kulturhusen Elsas & Skylten are youth centers for young people in the age of 15-25 yrs. The houses are run by Studiefrämjandet on assignment of the municipality of Linköping. Studiefrämjandet is an NGO organisation that arrange and offer courses and education for adults and juveniles in their leisure such as theatre, dance, media, music, international culture and environment-nature. The profile of Elsas Hus is culture – stageart such as theatre, dance, music, poetry and movies and the profile of Skylten is music. All our facilities are available for young people with ideas who wants to start and do culture activities. At Elsas hus we have three rooms for rehearsal, a small cinema, a creative room, a screnprint room and at Skylten we have 25 rooms for rehearsing music, two rehearsal rooms equipped with amplifyers, instruments and PA, a studio for recording and two rehearsal rooms for DJ:s and a larger venue for concerts and stageart. There is a café with a stage in both houses and the cafes are also used as a gallery where young people can show their art. We, the staff are all employed as youth inspirers and our job is to encourage young people to be creative, make events such as concerts, theatre, exhibitions, festivals,happenings and workshops. Our volunteers arrived in February and April and they were very much involved in the work at Kulturhusen Elsas & Skylten, from idea to doing. The project Youth culture of Linköping 2015/2016 made an impact on the volunteers, the staff, the young people in Linköping and the municipality as the volunteers this period made creative workshops, hip hop events and concerts including open jam sessions for local musicians as their own projects. They also informed about EVS in various places and took part in all activities Kultuthusen Elsas & Skylten arranged and activities arrange by other organisations and young people. To be able to offer young people the great opportunity to live abroad for a period in their life makes us envisage that we are a part of making the world a bit more open minded and thoughtful. It is an added value for the municipality and for us as organisation to be able to offer the young citizens of Linköping the possibility to go out as volunteers. We hosted three volunteers that were interested in culture and worked together with the visitors and the staff in a various number of culture activities. The result of this was yet another great experience for Kulturhusen Elsas & Skylten as new amazing activities were performed for/by/ together with our visitors and as always we gained new inspiration for the staff. Together with the volunteers we´ve promoted the fantastic advantages of EVS in schools and in future fairs. As every year we offered our volunteers to learn new skills and made a plan for it to happen and it is inevitable to not learn how to arrange culture activities at Kulturhusen Elsas & Skylten during a year in our houses. Our volunteers learned by doing, together with the staff and the visitors.
