Volunteering in Finland: On-Arrival Camp Impressions

Welcome to Finland! Every August Maailmanvaihto organises a 10-day On-Arrival Training for the incoming volunteers. At the training the volunteers are given an introduction to topics like the Finnish language and volunteering in the Finnish context. They also become familiar with their peer volunteers and Maailmanvaihto’s co-workers and staff. How was the camp in 2017? The participants tell. [Maailmanvaihto – ICYE Finland]
