Solidarity project
Connecting young people with nature to promote wellbeing, practical skills and environmental responsibility
The project promotes mental wellbeing, teaches practical skills like gardening and composting, and encourages environmental responsibility. Workshops and teamwork activities create a space where young people feel valued and included. You can join and help build greener community spaces that benefit both people and the planet.
GreenLink was a European Solidarity Corps solidarity project that ran from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026. Young people planned and looked after community gardens in Helsinki, where they could grow food, meet others and learn green skills.
The group ran gardening sessions, composting and sustainability workshops and community events. It welcomed young people from all backgrounds, especially those who felt alone, were out of work or were new to Finland.
Both GreenLink and SUSTAIN were completed in 2026. Our current solidarity project is Real Girls Talk: Grow & Glow (1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027). Taking part is free.
Spend time outdoors tending to gardens and see how being in nature boosts your mood and resilience.
Gain hands‑on experience in growing food, composting and eco‑friendly living skills you can use every day.
Work alongside other young people to create welcoming green spaces in Helsinki, making new friends and strengthening local networks.
