The project’s activities include education on urban farming and agriculture. This will take place in the DiakonKylä* community garden, which we will be building together during the project. In addition to gardening work, participants will receive both individual and group guidance, the former of which will be used to map their life situations and future aspirations.

We are helping our clients find jobs and educational paths. We also offer cooperative consulting to those interested.

To get started, contact Timo Helavuori and make an appointment. You can reach Timo by phone at 044 705 2027 or by email at firstname.lastname@diakon.fi.

During the initial meeting, we will tell you more about the project and the community gardening activities. We will also discuss whether the activities are a good fit for you and your situation.

After the initial meeting, you can take part in our group activities, including farming, gardening and activities that support overall wellbeing. The wellbeing activities are planned together with the participants, based on their needs and wishes.

Participation in the Oma Maa Cooperatives project is open to everyone and free of charge.

By taking part, you become part of a welcoming community, with opportunities to make new friends and get to know people from different cultures.

On the video you can see and hear the project workers explaining about the activities in the DiakonKylä garden.
