I had a wonderful time at the eco village! The hosts are so kind, welcoming and lovely. Working there is really fun, it's never boring or the same and the hours are fair and they are also very flexible if you want to make a trip or something like that. I met wonderful people and made many new and wonderful friendships!! Absolutely recommended to go there!

I had such an incredible time as my first solo volunteer trip at the eco village. Everyone I met was so kind and open, and I made so many great memories with my little volunteer family. There is a bus stop right across the road so it is super accessible to travel around in your free time, which is made easy by how flexible they are with working hours/banking work hours. The building as well is an incredibly cool place, and it's so fun to explore and see all the art (and the beautiful nearby lake). Altogether an amazing time and I would definitely recommend if you want a cool spot in Finland :).

The eco village is a place you should visit without overthinking it, because whatever you imagine will be completely different from reality. It's a huge space, full of new experiences and learning opportunities. The work you can do there ranges from everyday tasks like cleaning or organizing to maintenance projects. The experience itself is incredible, and the atmosphere is an adventure of its own. If you enjoy the peace of the forest, swimming in the lake, making new friends, and discovering new things, the eco village is for you!

The eco village is a nice place, in the middle of a forest. A lot of time to connect with nature, but also not so far from the capital. The hours and jobs were easy and flexible and the hosts and people who work there are all very kind.

The max length is too small here. Please contact me for the full story. + Building was amazing + I had the best time with the other volunteers + Staff I worked with (Mari and Hanna) was lovely - Work had nothing to do with "building a makerspace" (the title of this) - Work hours not very flexible - Owners had communication issues and blamed it all on them being Finnish (this pisses me off as a Finn) - Owners didn't know how to take critique (funny since they are "all about learning") - They kept saying "You are free to leave if you don't like it here" but when I did, they retaliated

My second time in the eco village was a very different experience than the first one. We were less volunteers and there were less events going on. Even though, I also enjoy it a lot and made me grow! I worked cleaning and preparing the future maker space and was amazing to work all together building a new roof for the fireplace. the eco village will be always in my heart, thanks a lot and see you a third time ;)

The eco village was really nice. The place is huge and there is a lot of nature around. It is a little far from the nearest city though, but they have bikes and cars you can ride, and also a lot of people coming and going all the time so you can ask for a ride. The hosts are super friendly and the volunteers were as well. If you don't mind eating vegetarian, I definitely recommend staying some time there.

I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks at the eco village at the end of the summer and it was a great experience. All the people are very nice and I was lucky enough to meet a group of exceptional people who were also volunteers. The facilities are very good and the food is well managed. Torsten, Raisa and all the people working there really made a special place to be in. I'm looking forward to coming back to see the progress in the makerspace and the winter in Finland. Thank you to all the fellow volunteers and artists for bringing us together to share special moments!!
