The cultural youth centre of Rauma works actively with cultural and intercultural issues organising events, campaigns and workshops. The themes of the work camp are short film producing and culture producing issues. Volunteers will also become acquainted with ancient technology and eco art as well as have a work shop on photography. The camps will also assist in producing a small Finnish rock festival by doing some practical work and documentary. Issues like human rights and racism and tackled by the means of media education.

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
