• Maailmanvaihto’s office, Oikokatu 3, 00170 Helsinki

As thanks for co-operation we will organize for the people of Maailmanvaihto and our co-operation partners a glögi evening (glögi is a traditional warm Christmas drink, similar to German Glühwein) on Friday 12.12.2025. The event will take place in our office in Kruununhaka, which is approximately a 10-minute walk away from the Helsinki central railway station.

We welcome all the Maailmanvaihto volunteers, Buddies, host families, voluntary workplaces and everyone else who has participated in our activities or worked with us. During the evening, we will enjoy each others’ company. Maailmanvaihto will offer non-alcoholic glögi and snacks.

Join the Secret Santa! All those who wish are be invited to take part in the Glögi Evening in the Secret Santa activity. It’s easy to take part! Bring a small, self-made gift and you’ll get a gift from someone else at the Glögi Evening! Let your creativity flow – write a poem, share a nice recipe, bake something nice, or make a small handicraft. All gifts are welcome!

Accessibility and safer space

Inside Maailmanvaihto’s office it is possible to move around with a wheelchair, but the office space is not completely wheelchair accessible: there is an approximately 7 cm doorstep at the entrance, and the toilet is not big enough for a wheelchair. Assistance dogs are welcome. If you have questions, you can reach us at tiedottaja@maailmanvaihto.fi.
