The Language Café is open to all interested, and you are welcome to join once or several meetings. We welcome to the Language Café both young participants of Maailmanvaihto’s activities and new people. You are welcome to participate in one or several meetings.
The Language Café is hosted by volunteers Isa and Mikaela. Isa created the Language Café for Maailmanvaihto as a part of their European Solidarity Corps volunteering period in Maailmanvaihto.
Safer space and accessibility
We wish to build in all Maailmanvaihto’s activities an atmosphere in which all participants can feel welcome as themselves. To support this, we will follow at the event Maailmanvaihto’s Safer space principles.
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 needed, we will gladly give you further information: tiedottaja@maailmanvaihto.fi.
