The impact is often explored from the perspective of a volunteer. It is pondered, what the volunteer has learned abroad and how the experiences have added to the personal growth of the participant. This magazine aims at bringing forth experiences of the people at voluntary workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>In Maailmanvaihto I have had the pleasure to witness many wonderful encounters and stories of personal growth. The biggest achievements are often small shared moments in the daily life and mutual learning experiences: how the boys of a special education class get inspired to learn English with a Mexican volunteer or a lonely youngster with a challenged background finds a friend to play billiards with out of an Indian volunteer. A volunteer is often the one who has time to play, talk and pay attention, as Ghanaian pupil Maxwell and Kis\u00e4lli\u2019s Sini and Aleksi tell in their interviews in this magazine.<\/p>\n<p>The volunteer always brings something new for the voluntary workplace: a possibility to develop language skills among the daily tasks and a breeze of the volunteer\u2019s own culture. This broadens the worldview and opens a new window to the world for the people at the workplaces. In the grassroot peace education it is important to offer \u2013 for pupils, for instance \u2013 an experience that one can get along with a foreigner and enjoy time together even without a shared language. In this way people dare to step over the boundaries of their comfort zones, get to know each other and learn together.<\/p>\n<p>It is often difficult to put into words the benefits and learning experiences international volunteering offers. Often it can provide new insights and wonderful encounters which can inspire a long way further.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5940 size-thumbnail\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mari-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mari-1-150x150.jpg 150w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mari-1-300x300.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mari-1-768x768.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mari-1.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mari Takalo<br \/>\nProgramme Coordinator of Maailmanvaihto<\/p>\n<h2>In the issue<\/h2>\n<p>2 Editorial: Inspiring Encounters and Learning Together<br \/>\n3 Kasvun paikat ja kannustavat kohtaamiset<br \/>\n5 Ajankohtaista<br \/>\n8 Syksyll\u00e4 17 vapaaehtoista eri puolille maailmaa Argentiinasta Vietnamiin<br \/>\n9 Kutsu syyskokoukseen<br \/>\nTeema: Sidosryhmien \u00c4\u00e4net \/ Theme: Voices of Interest Groups<br \/>\n&#8212; 10 Juksailua ja kielioppia Ghanassa<br \/>\n&#8212; 11 Aikaa, oppia ja toveruutta Costa Ricassa<br \/>\n&#8212;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/maailmanvaihto.fi\/kulttuurivaihtoa-kangaspuiden-lomassa\/\">14 Kulttuurivaihtoa kangaspuiden lomassa<br \/>\n<\/a>&#8212; 18 Uutta arkea Costa Ricassa<br \/>\n22 On-Arrival training in Antaverkka<br \/>\n34 ICYE Around the World: Vivid Energy in Taiwan<br \/>\n26 P\u00e4iv\u00e4 Sofian Kengiss\u00e4<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/maailmanvaihto.fi\/en\/volunteering-at-kainuun-opisto\/\">28 Volunteering at Kainuun Opisto<\/a><br \/>\n31 Askel eteenp\u00e4in \u2013 Ty\u00f6kalupakki ihmisoikeuskasvatukseen<br \/>\n32 Tule mukaan toimintaan!<br \/>\n33 Kielitaitoa v\u00e4kisinkin<br \/>\n34 Toiminnan l\u00e4ht\u00f6kohtia<br \/>\n35 Tapahtumakalenteri<\/p>\n<p>ISSN 2342-2629 (Printed)<br \/>\nISSN 2342-2637 (Online version)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial: Inspiring Encounters and Learning Together What do the people of voluntary workplaces \u2013 the staff and the pupils of a school or disabled people of a workshop, for instance \u2013 gain from international voluntary work cooperation?
