Osallistu virtuaalileirille!

Virtuaalileirille osallistut verkossa, voit siis jatkaa vapaaehtoistyön tekemistä kansainvälisessä porukassa, oppia uusia asioita ja tutustua uusiin ihmisiin. Sinun ei tarvitse maksaa leirinvälitysmaksua KVT:lle, riittää että olet KVT:n jäsen. Virtuaalileirille tarvitset oman tietokoneen ja nettiyhteyden käyttöösi. Bonuspuolia on osallistuminen omasta kodista käsin (ei siis suihkuvuorojen sopimista ja pakkausstressiä) ja säästät rahaa ja ympäristöä kun et joudu ostamaan matkalippuja tai päivittämään passia.

Haku virtuaalileirille tapahtuu samoin kuin perinteisille leireille leiritietokannan kautta. Voit etsiä pelkästään virtuaalileirejä kun avaat Options-välilehden hakukentästä ja raksit ruudun “On-line camps”. Huom! SCI:n tarjoama tapaturmavakuutus vapaaehtoisille ei ole voimassa virtuaalileireillä.

Virtuaalileirillä osallistut erilaisiin projekteihin, joita toteutetaan pääasiassa verkon kautta. Osassa virtuaalileireistä saattaa olla myös sellaisia tehtäviä, joita voit suorittaa omassa lähiympäristössäsi. Virtuaalileireillä voidaan esimerkiksi päivittää wikipediaa, tehdä taustatyötä johonkin kampanjaan, opiskella lisää ajankohtaisesta teemasta tai jotain ihan muuta.

Alla esimerkkejä viime aikona olleista tai kohta tulevista virtuaalileireistä.

1.-7.2. Wikipedia for Peace: Women‘s Suffrage

Throughout the 19th and 20th century, women around the world have fought for their right to participate in elections. Women in Switzerland were the last in Western Europe, gaining suffrage on 7 February 1971, 50 years ago. And still today, women in some parts of the world are not able to vote, even when men are. In this online camp, which is part of the bigger “Wikipedia for Peace” project and a cooperation between SCI and Wikimedia Switzerland, you will get to know Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. You will also learn about the feminist movement and inspiring activists within it!

16.-25.2. Virtual Camp Environmentally Aware – Learn from Home

During lockdown we started to host our first virtual camps and learnt that online meetings are a great way of connecting with people all across the world and promoting our ideals and environmental awareness, even without meeting physically. SEEDS camp leaders will be creating opportunities for you to focus on different current environmental and sustainability issues through a selection of workshops and activities online. One of our aims is to help create more environmentally aware consumers & travellers. During this camp participants can share their love for (and learn more about) global & local environmental topics such as: climate change, waste management, sustainable solutions & other environmental topics.

Sharing camp memories on Thu 11th of June

Have you volunteered through KVT on a workcamp abroad or taken part in one of our workcamps in Finland? Would you feel like taking a moment for refreshing your memories from the camp(s) in good company? Join our online camp memory sharing evening on Thursday June 11th!

Joukko ihmisiä järven rannalla

The workcamp season is coming up but for many of us the ongoing situation with COVID-19 is setting limitations for being able to gather together physically, for workcamps or other purposes. In order to keep up the spirit of our volunteer community despite the lack of traditional, face-to-face activities, we are organizing this virtual evening for our volunteers to get together for recollecting the funny moments, challenges, cultural encounters or whatever they wish to share from their workcamps.

It doesn’t matter whether your camp took place last year or 10 years ago, you’re equally welcome to join to share your experiences and to grasp a piece of camp atmosphere from your own couch! Besides nostalgizing together, this event might also be an opportunity to share your thoughts about alternative ways of volunteering in this exceptional situation.

HOW TO JOIN:

The event will be held on Zoom on Thursday 11 June at 6 pm (UTC+3).

Please sign up beforehand via this registration form:

Also, it will be even more fun if you have a picture or other memory object from your workcamp that you would like to share with others on the call. Hope to see many of you on June 11th!
