Workshop: Volunteering reimagined: tools to decolonise volunteering

  • Wednesday 4th June at 5.30–7.30 pm
  • Maailmanvaihto’s office, Oikokatu 3, 00170 Helsinki

A warm welcome to a workshop on decolonising international volunteering to test recently developed tools to address this hot topic in discussions.

The workshop is open for all interested and free of charge. No registration is required – you are welcome to just come and join the workshop.

The workshop will be held in English or Finnish, according to the joint wishes of the participants. Join in to reflect and learn together! We will have small vegan snacks and if the weather is wonderful, we can be outside.

The workshop is organized jointly by KVT (Kansainvälinen vapaaehtoistyö) & Maailmanvaihto – ICYE Finland.

Welcome!

If you have any questions about or wishes for the workshop or would like to let us know of your dietary restrictions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at tiedottaja@maailmanvaihto.fi.

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.

We will follow in the workshop Maailmanvaihto’s guidelines for safer spaces: https://maailmanvaihto.fi/en/guidelines-for-safer-spaces
