Are you interested in global issues, economic development, or technology cooperation between northern and southern countries? How can education foster development? What is Finland’s role in global development questions? AYY Development Cooperation Week would be the one for you! The aim of the week is to raise the awareness of global responsibility in Finland and mutual cooperation with developing countries. The week is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and it takes places in most of the Finnish student unions.

As a volunteer, you will help with event planning, project organizing and networking. No prior experience is required and all that matters is your interest and passion. Sound interesting? Lunch vouchers are provided at student cafeteria restaurants for volunteers during the Dev-Co week and possibly other benefits! Dev-Co week happens last week of October 2015. Join our team with your ideas and enthusiasm!

Please send a short description to development.cooperation@ayy.fi by May 20th, including the contents of your name + major + contact number + email address + why are you interested +your expectations.
