About the Organization and Project
Host organization offers services for people with intellectual disabilities or autistic spectrum
disorders as a part of Western Uusimaa wellbeing services county (Västra Nylands välfärdsområde
in Swedish). The activities in hosting organisation offers are divided into several sections in different
areas. The volunteer will assist partly in our arts&crafts workshop and partly in life skills activities. It
is also possible to partly assist in FIX-TV (a small group working with film and media) if the volunteer
has skills in that field. The volunteer can also take initiative to arrange small workshops with different
themes, for instance at this moment our volunteers are offering a weekly cooking class and Beauty
Salon.
The participants of hosting organisation’s life skills activities (Livsorienterad verksamhet in Swedish)
need guidance and support in their daily activities. The life skills activities take place in small groups
consisting of 2–4 people and are always planned according to the condition, interests, and needs of
the participants. About twenty people take part in the life skills activities daily. The daily activities
consist of music, arts and crafts, painting, games, and walks outside, for example. The goal is to
encourage every participant to be active, get involved, make their own decisions, and affect the
content of their daily lives, taking into consideration every participant’s individual starting point.
