Descripción
Our place is an nearly 100 years old, traditional schoolhouse out in the Finnish countryside, almost surrounded by forest. We have a nice sauna also. There is a lake a short walk from the house, which is ok for swimming.
What we are trying to achieve here is a place where eco-living, activism, arts, politics and friends meet. We who live here are Aune - theater director and professor at theater academy, Alm - doctoral researcher and performance artist, Varga 15 yo, Saarni 12 yo and Usva 7 yo. We are all activists of sorts.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We are open-minded people, both Aune and Alm are artists, Aune working at the moment as a professor at the University of the Arts in Helsinki, Aune is also a trained homeopath, helping people with all kinds of issues with health. Alm is performance artists and a poet, and trained in Forest sciences, currently working on his PhDin forest ecology and management
We are interested what is happening in the world and activists in our own ways, striving for equality, freedom and autonomy. We like to find ways to live in balance with the nature and all its beings. These ideas color our daily lives and thus will be a part of the cultural exchange when spending time here.

We are looking for persons who are ready for a bit of this and that.
Most of the time there are general countryside living things ongoing, keeping the house and garden in shape, making firewood and such work. Sometimes there are also special projects ongoing, this summer we are working on a pond or two and building an outdoor kitchen.
Our seven year old really enjoys company, so hanging out with them - going for a bike-ride, jumping on the trampoline, playing a game of football or a board game, is also a very welcome help.
You don't need to be an expert to help here, some tasks require no previous knowledge at all, just a sound attitude, and some works require some skills. Being able to do tasks independently and ability to take initiatives is useful!
Apart from our house we also have a summer cottage without electricity and running water, about 1 hour car ride from our place, and some of the work might be done there.

Alojamiento
Depending on how many people we are here at the moment and if there are guests stopping by you will have a room of your own or a shared room. If you prefer living outdoors there is a chance to do that also, you can build a shelter or live in a tent.
There is wi-fi in the house, that we turn off during the nights. We do not have television, nor a dish-washing machine. We do have a washing machine for clothes. We eat mostly vegan/vegetarian food, but sometimes game and fish. We have a sauna and a compost toilet in the yard, and a shared bathroom in the house with a shower and a water toilet.
Algo más...
Tammisaari, the closest town is a very nice little city with a beautiful old town and quite much life in the summer. It is about 17 km away from our place so you can go there even by bicycle.
We are all non-smokers.

Alm, Aune, and their three children were very kind and treated me politely even though I am not good at English.
