Read MaailmanVaihtoa – Volunteers Voices 2/2025: the impact of international volunteering

MaailmanVaihtoa – Volunteers’ Voices 2/2024 has been published on the theme of the impact of international volunteering!

🏫 Red from the magazine, how at Aitoo Vocational College, being a voluntary workplace for the youth of European Solidarity Corps and ICYE programs has brought international experiences into the everyday life of a special education school.

🌍 In our new series, we ask three questions to Maailmanvaihto alumni, first to Mari Parkkinen, who has spent an ICYE volunteering period as a supportive playmate in the children’s ward of a hospital in Honduras.

💭Adeolu Onamade from ICYE Nigeria talks about the work of their NGO and shares his thoughts on the impact of volunteering and how to contribute to the kind of a world that the ICYE Federation envisions.

🌱 The issue also includes views of Sasu Katajamäki, the chairperson of Maailmanvaihto board, on the impact of volunteer organisations on the youth and society.
