Finnjamboree “Kajo”
Organisation: Keuruu Ecovillage (Finland)
Project: Finnish scout camp with international participation
Description: The activities will have two priorities: “internally” through the activities of the Ecov- illage, and the activities offered and promoted “outwards” through cooperation with other local partners in Keuruu (such as schools, local youth work organisations).

Typical tasks for volunteers are cooking vegetarian food, working in the garden, gathering wild plants (herbs, mushrooms, berries), general helping in the kitchen, and cleaning. Volunteers can help with planning, scheduling and implementing activities on a regular basis. The main themes are environment and climate change, intercultural/intergenerational educa- tion, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and (lifelong) learning.
