Mobile youth work camper van Nuoli

The mobile youth work camper van visits locations where young people spend time in. Mobile youth work thus provides opportunities for young people to meet safe adults and engage in activities during their leisure time.

The destinations of the camper van are updated on this page regularly. The destinations take into account the wishes of the city residents, especially young people.

Let’s say hi when we meet on the move, and the door of the camper van is open for young people to meet the city’s youth workers and spend safe leisure time!
